The world will go on

Though your pain haunt you
And troubles may taunt you
Please do not despair,
The world is still there.
 

You may hurt for a while,
It may be hard to smile,
But tomorrow will dawn,
The world will go on.

Though you feel all alone
And wish to be stone
The world will abide,
It will not slow the tide.

The wind will still blow,
The cock will still crow
The birds will still sing
And they’ll still take a wing.

Though you shuffle along
And wish to be gone
The world is still turning
And the sun is still burning.

So enjoy today, as best as you can
Until your agony is just a memory.

    Very well done, with violin "Sad Romance by Thao Nguyen Xanh" playing in the background intensified my reading and hit a nerve.

Unconditional

Don't tell me I've potential, or what you want from me Love should be elemental, cause it should always be. Don't love that you could mold me into what you want some day Just in your arms enfold me and tell me it's okay. Don't love me cause I'm weaker, or cause I need you there. Some times I may be meeker, and other times I'll dare. Don't love me if I'm faithful, then hate me if I roam If you love me truly, I'll always come back home.  It's not because you love me that you strike me when I stray You want to be above me, you want to make me stay. Don't tell me it's your duty, don't treat me like a chore Don't say you love my beauty, love what is at my core. How can it be you love me, yet don't know who I am? In a mold you may shove me, and no matter how you cram I won't fit the shape and then I'll break the mold.

In memory of Destiny Lester

The earth revolves without you, To dawn another day The moon still brings the tide And sends him on his way. The night sky stars still twinkle, They have not lost their glow Time marches on, to that same beat As if he didn't know. The spring will bring her flowers All wond'rous to behold And though we may not like it All flowers one day fold. They must make way for autumn When leaves begin to fall Though some leave before others It happens to us all. And winter, although barren And cold beyond belief Must spread her icy fingers To help us through our grief.  So when that babe comes crying And wailing to our arms We openly embrace them Accepting all their charms. We could just mourn the fallen And refuse to heed spring's song But if we close our hearts off We might as well be gone. I'll live life and embrace it Just as you would have done Hard as it is to see past The setting of your sun.

Tragedy

He only seeks the pleasure of the ride little thinks he of costs that he might pay. Off he jaunts, no matter night or day. He thinks he's safe, if luck is on his side. He grants to some the power to destroy, in what might be the blinking of an eye. They look both ways or so they try, But still they cannot see this boy. He rides atop a coffin with two wheels never knowing what may be his fate. If someone doesn't see, it is too late and he or she a priceless treasure steals. All is lost because of a mistake. Too late for something to be done. One didn't see, another one is gone. Tragedy it is, for heaven's sake. So many gather weeping for the life unlived, and all the years this boy had left. So many tears, he left behind a baby and a wife.
