In memory of a friend. Please take time to read and drop a comment or two.
You told me a lot of things to remember
A couple of things of those were—
Life is a journey, a journey through time
Just wait for the ticking clock until it will chime
Love is the greatest feeling on earth
But loving someone who doesn’t love you just isn’t worth
Dreams are just like giving birds their wings
Incredible, just as a person opens their voice and sings
Fear always conquers a persons mind
Leaving them helpless, and blind
Hope will never fade if you never stop believing
Stand out proud and strong or your beauty will start concealing
Parents love you no matter how many times you fall
Memories of standing up for me, I can still recall
A bird trapped in its iron cages
Or even a man struggling to pay his wages
They will somehow find a way through it all
Gather up courage to break down that brick wall
Textbooks written, printed, and read
So boring and bland, like plain bread
Things that happen for a reason can’t be stopped
Balance of stilts and you’ll never drop
What people want these days are Mac books and I pods
Slowing down their education and belief in gods
Money now is what people seek
Not knowing too much greed will finally leave you weak
A hundred words are equal to one touch
But love can be expressed in many ways such—
Warmth of a touch, those kind words
The silly jokes that seem absurd
The endless care you give to the person you love
Like raindrops falling non-stop from above
Trees that always grow up to the sunlight
Peace that seem to always end the fight
Sounds of children echoing around
So lively, cheerful— what a sound!
Softness of grass beneath your toes
The circle of life, that’s how it goes
The dancing of people around the camp fire
The education of each person has to acquire
The hope of being who you want to be
The wanting of blind people to actually see
The way to survive in a land full of hate
To walk to heaven, past that silver gate
To go against the desire to sin
Giving in your best, you’re everything to win
All the lessons in life, that’s what you need to know
Lastly, if you love someone…never let them go.
