Gift of a Life


Waking to sunrise 

As I inhale every breath 

Unsuspecting what the world holds for a test 

Risking to take any oppertuity in my path  

Watching the world revolve 

To making money and paying our dues 

There is more to our lives 

Than to struggle and lose 

Known for poverty and ruins 

Placed to work and endure 

But theres still more than this to live for 

Ive lost close friends 

Knowing they wish to breath the air again 

Unable to experience for loss of memories 

I pray they never repent there livings

For loseing a live

At the age younger than 25

Realizing I still may have a long way to go 

Greatful for every year I make it through
