When There is no father to guide Mother to comfort And brother to help In the time of need The so called friends Are exchanging fists For warm handshakes Or they never exist Then the world seems Like a dark endless hall Echoing a lonely soul tread Groping for brand It feels like passing The beauty of life For the ugliness of death When the only companion Is loneliness And ones sought Only flow expression of unfeeling Air of failure is all we breathe But We cannot stop the breath Our soul The only thing we got Many may leave us Not for us to lose our souls If it does not give up on us Why should we! It is an ever-changing times Where seemingly mountains Have ways of turning to valleys We only need to seek For courage to live And not the fears to die Our problems never limit us But we limit ourselves to them Never give up on yourself You have more to offer life And nothing to death. « return. |
