Endure

These are things I have learned.

Life is long.

Change will come.

A time called forever

will soon be done.



The wind will pick up.

The fires will burn.

When the damage is done,

What will you learn?



That the world gives you nothing?

But you take what you can.

Maybe you should give it all back

And start all over again.



[but no one does that anyway

look at the world we live in today

We wait for our shadows to show us the way,

but they can't be seen, the sky's always gray.



Yet people live on, through every single day.]

I once knew

a woman whose grandmother was from Czecho-Slovakia, the old woman had a firm belief and she forced her premise to be true. The woman I once knew, from an early age heard her grandmothers mantra, that life is meant to be "endured". This was very appropraite for the grandmother who had lived through a depression and two world wars. The woman I once knew, did not subcribe to her grandmothers feelings about life, she felt that life is to be enjoyed and not endured, she has a right to her opinion, she has MS and she tries to live everyday to its fullest, RIGHT ON P D-R!!!

Peace
