THIS SHORT LIFE
See how fleeting life is
yet all vital things we miss
we focus on things insignificant
fussing over things unimportant
we worry too much
and as such
many yesteryears were here
today they are now-where.
As we journy on life's road
we will hear many stories told
different sepia cross our path
handful stay, others depart
many backstab
and foes wish we'ld starve.
Most will hurt others will heal
we have to focus on the positives and enjoy our meal
I will alwys remember and never forget
most are with me for what they'll get
When I fall
they'ld back me and form a wall.
I expect disappointment from any body
never to be decieved by language body
words matter not
Got to use all've got
To identify friends
who eagerly wait for my end
I can't be carried away
by mere words and pretencious ways.
Life is like a storm
Storms of all forms
it's a choice to swim or sink
In hard times, I can blink
But never be blinded
Or dejected
I can't be anyone's option
Or selected like lotion'
I've learnt to smile laugh and play
we need dozens of those each day
as we wait for deaths' call
I will always walk tall
Making impact
walkng in the right path.
I have burdens I carry
but I can't on burdens tarry
I've to live, mingle and tango
enjoying life like a juicy mango
working, having fun and doing my best
while to fate I leave the rest.
