We're born into a troubled world Defeated from the start And yet we struggle constantly Not from it to depart And life goes on... From infancy our moulds are cast And though some may break through It's difficult to do at will The things we're longing to But life goes on... How often don't we sit and hope For things beyond our reach Then waken to reality And sadly dreams impeach? Still life goes on... There is a spark in each of us That says there must be more And so the search continues on For that elusive shore As life goes on... In retrospect, some day we'll see It wasn't all in vain For each new quest along life's path Has yielded inner gain And life goes on... And when we reach our final hour Of life upon this earth We can rejoice, depart in peace Death gives the soul rebirth YES! LIFE GOES ON! by © Barbara A. Duits 1999 |
