The Incredible Journey Called Life


Clouds are giant marshmallows spread across the sky

Rain is the salty tears from the clouds as they cry

Emotions are the waves that beat upon our shores of time

My guardian angel watches over me but is a silent mime

A lighthouse is my compass pointing me in the right direction

My home is the army providing endless protection

My friends are my family filled with cherished love

I love my family more than the sky above

Simple things we think are important might take up our whole world

Our leaders represent our waving flag unfurled

Tree roots are our ancestors who hold our respect unforgettable

Life is the rising sun truly incredible
