As a little girl the world seemed so clicheI would spend time with my uncle and playAs I got older though, the situations changedAnd the melody of my family’s happiness, became estranged On a simple Thursday where the rain droplets tapped to the toon of the bluesI received the most heart-breaking newsThat the life of my perfect uncle was suddenly limited And his illness is completely definitive Throughout his thirty years of lifeHe would have never expected to be stabbed in the back by the universe with a knife And his biggest regret being not enjoying the wonders of the world Kept his mind swirled His words on repeat in my mind: “Do not fear the chances you receive”Inspired me to achieve I keep those words nailed in my head And it makes my days brighter than a cigarette It keeps my mind as easeEven though my life is not at peace Things happen for a reason And they change like the seasons
