Life’s Precious:

Time is like a bomb about to explode
The days go by and time flies
I’m lost on a journey, as I leave my past behind
As the years continue onward with ups and downs
I realise our time on earth is nearly done
With memories that will cherish while others wither
Some will judge some will whisper
Life is a story so don’t tell it like a book, people will give looks
People will stare, but the inner sweet love story of life would never compare
I have been defeated
The light of the world never the same
I hear the rumours surround around me that never change
I felt the light of my life drain from me, clothing me in grief and caving me in
So let’s be true and lets be right
The road your taking will be even, will be bumpy
Never doubt where your road is taking you trust the process and believe it’s true
