Life


What is life? Is it that which whispers in our ears late at night? Or is it that which tries to give us a fright? The four letter word for wonder. It reveals itself when you go under Or just before the room goes dim And the doctor standing over you with a tear in his eye Whispering to the nurse, I hope he did all he wanted to do in his life. I s it what your momma said it would be Is it what you see on TV High definition looks great from afar Shining so bright like a star No matter where you are The closer you are the better the beat Like the heart when your asleep Beating ever so faintly, until the first lights gently kiss your face And the times begin to race but slow their roll to keep a pace To make it down the road we call LIFE.
