Live
I laughed until I cried
I cried until I laughed
My heart loved until it broke
My heart hated until it learned to love
again
Soft breeze caressed my hair
Blue sea washed my feet
I swam shallow for fear of everything
I swam in the deep end for fear of
nothing
A warm hand held mine
Another heart beat mine up until a
single rhythm was formed
One day the hand left
And another held my hand again
And my heart got one more beating
From stinginess I learned giving
I gave till I had no more to give
Seeds came to me.
I passed them on as blossoms.
Blossoms came to me.
I passed them on as flowers.
My smile did compete with the sun's
shine
My frown did compete with the moon's gloom
I sang and taught music a lesson or two.
I wrote till my soul bled
I injected my passion in the earth's vein
My knowledge spoke
My wisdom listened
My folly couldn't care less
I sinned and sought forgiveness
Got lost and sought redemption
I was pushed against ropes
I pushed back
Though kicked when down
I picked others when they were down.
Betrayed. Forgave. Moved on.
Creativity and I were lovers
Ingenuity and I, best friends.
Failure knew me by name
Success found me later.
I walked with bare feet on God's green
carpet
And enjoyed nature's scenery
The earth knew I was here
The world knew me.
I loved watching the sun set
Until today, when my sun did set...
Car honks.
