Reviewing Life.
What is life about?
Should we be happy
or scream and shout?

Life can be scary,
mattering not what you learned.
Life is up and down.
Sometimes we get burned.

Be strong my niece,
strong like you are.
Keep your love intact,
for those near and far.

Living today for tomorrow.
What if tomorrow never comes,
while all the yesterdays,
are no longer here.

You sit alone
in a dining room chair.
Lonely you are,
does anyone care?

A breath of life,
a tired sigh.
Are these words said,
when you die?

Memories of long ago,
have gone away.
No remembrances now,
no thoughts will stay.

When I was young,
not much of a man,
I wanted to be good,
and thou said I can.

Now I am older,
you see what I am,
just an ordinary person,
pretending to be a man.

The sound of the wind,
roars in my ears.
The breaking of branches,
heightens my fears.

A storm at this moment,
is not all right.
for I need you now
to hold me tight.

The light flickers
off and then on.
Is this a sign that
you are now gone?

I hope and I pray
this is not the case,
but life's disappointment
slaps me in the face.

Don't presume the accolades
of today,
will keep tomorrow's criticism
at bay.

My mind is dead.
I know not what to write.
Write of things beautiful and true,
look for joy, day and night.

When actions are
hard to predict.
When thoughts run rampant,
without control.
When dreams have left,
gone now astray.
Let not the truth,
become a run away.

When resting in this
World, less bright,
repeat your actions,
and make things right.

Into the blue
the rocket roared,
spewing fuel,
the missile soared.

Into space,
destination unknown,
on a journey,
far, far from home.
