Life is a choice that each of us makes.
We can choose what we wish to be.
At first parents guide us along an old road,
Then it forks and at last we are free,
To make our own choices and be our own man.
The decision at last is our own.
As long as we hurt no one but ourselves,
We can do as we like 'cause we're grown;
But soon we will learn to our shock and dismay,
That each choice we make has a price.
Whate'er you dish out to your brothers my friend,
Comes right back to you times thrice.
In nature God shows us all how to get by.
Those who work and store up have it best.
Those who can't be bothered to work and to save,
Will starve come the hard winter's test;
For life is a journey of good times and bad.
There's much to be learned 'long the road.
Each man is blessed according to plan,
And we each must carry our load.
We learn to be patient, we learn to be kind,
We learn to accept God's will.
We learn to discern which fork in the road,
Leads to life and which fork will kill;
And finally we learn the one fact of life,
Most important if we are to live.
All of life's riches will all slip away,
Like sand through the holes in a sieve.
All that remains is what we leave behind.
Who remembers and what they will think.
Will our mem'ry be sweet to family and friends,
Or will they turn away 'cause it stinks.
Life is birth
Life is death
Life is pain
Life is love and love lost
Life is a journey to your death
So paint many pictures
Cherish many memories
Celebrate good cheer
You’ll be dead soon enough
Meaningless as the random birth of a star
That will only later explode in red blood
Life will toss you a smile or two
A warm moment, or Monet, who cares
Only to steal it back from you
So why bother with this tedious journey
Towards the ultimate darkness of a cold cold death
I will tell you why
It’s for that one kiss
The one chance
To hold love in your arms
To taste lustful youth
We are born for that
We kill for it
We die regardless of it
So let me do this one act
This one symbolic gesture
I toss to you a dozen red roses
Along with my heart
A kiss
My love was always there
All you had to do was reach out
Why oh why
Fear a fool such as I
Whom for one kiss
I would surely die
If only I could complete your heart
For a new lovers start
One child went to the moon and back
The other went to Pluto
The first one said there’s nothing there
But the other said there’s mucho
One kid sees in black and white
Another in shades of grey
One Childs’ thoughts may be finite
The other lets the imagination play
One may grow up stiff and stern
The other one happy and free
The future starts not when a child is born
But what their mind can see
Now some may say no one learns this way
Focus is what gives life a start
But imagination wins the day
When it’s allowed to play a part
Teach the child to do well in school
To stay on the right track
But mix in a little of Pluto’s rule
and the child will never look back
Life is a journey, and though the present is now
What it can be is not
The dreamer’s dream will somehow show
what the moon’s child forgot.

Forced to love, forced to choose things that do not feel well.
Forced to please others and not yourself, makes a person feel unwell.
Forced to act like your happy, when your body is screaming let me out of here.
Forced to be someone you are not, makes you do things that are not nice.
Forced you are, but things will bend, time and space will change, and you can mend.
Like all of life, things happen, then later we look and realize things we did not see before.
Do not give up, you can get better, you can ask God to hold your hand and help make you well.
Love and pray for better days, for life is a journey we all take day by day.
Lifting prayers to God, today and always.
However flower, however pseudo somehow,
however mere, however weariness of it,
unknown dreams are natural beauty almost draw,
the truth is that life is a journey for us to fulfill it,
there is a mountain here that is not so far,
higher a bit I am not mistaken,
it is called land of spirits, how for sculler?.
Earth full of it kinds is questionable now,
however when a grasshopper is examined to find,
out how wings, it is done that how,
a lot of conscience means excellently good,
when there is a rainbow did an interference,
this is because there is a law that is wholly obeyed,
letting a real government of things askance.
The world is a canvas, painted in shades of gray,
Where colors have faded, and light has gone astray.
Each sunrise a burden, a promise of another day,
To trudge through the mud, and find no sun's ray.
A heart like a stone, heavy and cold,
No warmth, no longing, a story untold.
The whispers of joy, now distant and low,
Drowned by the silence, the weight of the woe.
Apathy's cloak, it wraps me tight,
Stifling the embers, extinguishing the light.
No tears to release, no anger to feel,
Just emptiness echoing, a hollow, cold steal.
The laughter of others, a distant refrain,
A melody lost, in this desolate domain.
The world moves on, oblivious to my plight,
Lost in the shadows, with no hope in sight.
But even in darkness, a flicker remains,
A ghost of a wish, that a change it sustains.
A whisper of hope, not easily slain,
For a sunrise to pierce, the depths of this pain.
So I clutch to that ember, deep buried in gray,
And search for a canvas where colors can sway.
Through valleys of sorrow, I'll venture to seek,
The hues of my spirit, still vibrant, not weak.
For life is a journey, a beautiful mess,
Even gray can transform, if I dare to express.
With joyous splashes, I'll reignite the scene,
Turning the shadows to shades evergreen.
School I must attend
For knowledge so they say
The key to life is education
So in class I paid attention
After years had passed
It was time I got tested
I sat for my examination
Doing best with determination
Results! Results! Results!
I heard after a few months
Disaster! Disaster! Disaster!
My efforts were a total failure
My relationship became a mess
And my friends cared less
Parents said I was a disgrace
For I had lost my golden chance
Though my faith was shaken
And my heart was broken
I promised to strive
In this world to survive
At me they laughed
And said no where will I reach
That my dreams were now dead
And merely just things I preach
“You are just a laughing stock”
They say and they mock
But I work hard around the clock
Knowing I’ll find my own flock.
I tried hard to be strong
Searching where I went wrong
Clinging and holding on
What my heart desired so long
Beware!
Life is a journey
You have to find your own way.
Whether you stumble and fall
Whether you leap or crawl
Deep in your heart you know
As your humble efforts grow
You shall reap what you sow!
“Life is a mystery. Everyone must stand alone.”
-Madonna
Life can’t be known in its entirety,
It seems to hide a part of its face,
We can’t mirror its race,
We climb on Hope's ladder.
Life is a mystery,
Missing pieces in puzzles,
We sojourn in search of them,
We're still far from the helm.
Life is a journey,
It’s end is out of sight,
We bask in today’s light,
Wake up in tomorrow’s gloom.
Life is a portrait,
Radiant yesterday,
Gloomy today,
We add our colours to conceal its blotches.
Life is a book,
Scripted by the unseen,
No one has seen its last page,
Not even the oldest sage.
Life is a river,
It meanders at some points,
Undetermined by us,
Determined by an unseen force.

When you have real feelings for someone let them know
Time to open up more and allow your relationship to grow
When that special someone has brought a lot of joy into your life
Show her with your actions and words and add a little spice
Time waits for nobody, so tell her how much she brightens up your day, like the morning sun
Shower her with love, making every moment with her that you share a whole lot of fun
Make her feel special in all sorts of creative ways
A path to a beautiful relationship can be paved by the thoughtful gestures you portray
When every time you see her butterflies leave your stomach and surround your heart
You know that you have found your copilot for life and don't want to be apart
Life is a journey that should be shared with that special person
When all you can think about day and night is her, you have truly found that special one
