Together
when young we’re innocent to pain
we live events are never the same
we gain stains engraining our brain
mental and emotional scars remain
The death of a loved one
kin, sibling or parent
bereft succumb
hurting present
It strips us of quality found in our youth
happy go lucky fun drifts aloof
ripping up hearts and minds with abuse
yet we live on trying to cut loose
Life we’re given
suffering the price
yet whilst we’re living
we learn of nice
The human spirit bonds us close
people present through merry and woes
and while we hit both goal and post
people present through highs and lows
Today our present
the gift our people
when in our presence
there’s nothing we need more
