Life is a storm with all its good and bad
The waves are our troubles as they never stop
The lightning our anger as it strikes at our heart
The ships our loves as they come and go
The coral our beauty’s as they continue to grow
The fish our likes as they pass through freely
All of which we value dearly
Things change as life goes on
But some things don’t stray
And in fact they stay
Like our desire to go on
We will never truly die out
Instead we will spread
Our loves and our likes
For all of eternity
We will live on
