The Lesson

Everyday I wake to find,
A shining, brand new day,
A smile falls upon my face,
And I start to make my way.

Kids are crying, phone is ringing,
It's all one great big mess,
But there's nowhere else I'd rather be,
This I must confess.

Chaos comes and chaos goes,
But love is always there,
Beneath the surface, deep inside,
Nothing can compare.

Everyday which passes by,
We are surely dying,
So we must live inside each moment,
And find what's underlying.

The beauty in a single tear,
The sunshine in a smile,
All the things we take for granted,
Lost inside the vile.

Every mark and every wrinkle,
Earned and filled with knowing,
Look ahead and don't turn back,
The sands of time are flowing.
