Lifetime of knowledge

by Chris   Jul 10, 2006


Why do we hold on for dear life?
Maybe were afraid of letting go
Maybe were afraid of losing it all.

Or maybe were so content that our mind does not process any other way, and our
eyes do not see any other way.
Though are heart feels many ways.

Do we do what we want to do, or what we need to do?
What they want us to do, or what we want ourselves to do?

At times we are lost, following this dark path.
When all we need to do is beleive, believe that everything will turn out for the better and
uphold faith.
And the lord will shine his light on each path.

Most of the times, all we need is a little guidance.
Not to be pushed into a direction.
But for everyting to gracefully fall into place.
Like the planets and stars.

And though we struggle to find this happiness and search beyond where it is possible.
The real happiness lies beneath our skin and in our heart.

And all we need is a little stroke of hope...
Hope keeps the dreams and wishes alive.

But dreams also can be torn.
Why work so hard when you already know the outcome?
Because we care, we want it to change, we want it to be better.

And in our lifetime, though some of the lies turn into cuts, and the pain turn into scars...
The hope is what keeps us going, the light, the Lord...

    Throught the poem you used the word "were" when you really should be using "we're" with an apostrophe. It breaks the word into 'we are' rather than being the past tense of 'be'. That's all I can read. Other than that, it was a great write.
