Life Strikes

If only it were so easy to start,

To take life like a brush and paint picture of art

but the trials darken the soft leaves still hanging on

Some let go from the blackness that consumes them for so long

Afterward we unknowingly smother them on the soles of our feet

Where they will never be seen again; never learned after then



The imaginary part nourishes us within it all;

We add up the goals to make that the finish

Though with every turn and every move they change

Staying elusive on your journey making your goals diminish



We make the pile of faults, and the regrets create our luggage

Instead of leaving them behind, they drag us on and on

Our high spots are lightning, igniting us up for a short time

Enough to see the lighted pathway ahead until the dark unwinds



In life, love is bittersweet, so it keeps us continuing forward

It’s filling our cup enough, but yet we thirst for drink

The people we go through in this help us along the way

Removing the shadows others cast on us everyday



Step forward into the sunset and let God determine destinies

Getting lost in the dark is all in our life

But if we keep moving in God we can walk forever in light
