I’m just in the here and now.
Doing what my life will allow.
Just wondering is this the way?
That my life will stay.
As each day pass.
I wonder will this last?
I did not see.
That is how my life would be.
Do we ever really know?
How our lives will go.
This is not the way I had seen.
That my life would become routine.
At times I just don’t know.
Were did my life go?
Were did I leave my dreams?
For now it seems.
That life has passed me bye.
I can not deny.
The way things are.
It seems so bizarre.
As I take the time to look back.
Wondering when did my life go off track.
How come I did not see?
Were I would be.
This is not the way.
I thought my life would be today.
Knowing were I’m.
It seems at this point and time.
The choices I made and what they cost.
At times I feel that a part of me I have lost.
Were did I leave that part of me.
Long time ago it seems I shut out life and lost the key.
For those that listen I told.
I’ll raise my kids and put my life on hold.
Now they are grown.
And I find myself all alone.
It has appeared.
The thing I feared.
I can not pretend.
This is not how I wanted it in the end.
As I grow old.
Seems having a love for me to behold.
Somewhere in time it seems.
That was only part of my dreams.
Those thoughts have faded.
Not caring to persuade.
Just to have someone take my heart.
And see how far they can tear it apart.
It’s time for me to really look and see.
This is the way my life was meant to be.

This Life we're Living,
it's not at all the same,
and yet it's True this I say to you...
Many feel it just a game.

Win or Lose, we all Must Choose,
the Direction our Path Takes.
The Choice can be Simple, yet Complex,
though many shall be our Mistakes.

Regrets of Past, worries ahead,
a simple Fact of Daily Life.
Truth be Told, for Young and Old,
Peace may Blossom from seeds of Strife.

Strenght within us, beyond ourselves,
as we wonder why, without Reason.
Life is New, Each Day we're Given,
A Fresh start of a New Season.

Peace.

With each new day we are given.
We learn that life is worth livening.
No matter what one may have been told.
Life is within our grasp to hold.

All one has to do is reach out.
It is there to take without a doubt.
It will not cost.
Even for those that feels they are lost.

It is there for each to take.
Reach out and partake.
Learn to love and live.
Before long you will thrive.

Upon the fruits that life has bared.
Realizing life is to be shared.
Just knowing someone will be there.
Giving a love that one cannot compare.

Life can be so sweet.
What a wonderful treat.
Just to know that each beautiful day.
Will be like a fresh bouquet.

Yes, it's True, Life's worth Living,
yet so many, think twice, not at all.

We take for Granted, Gifts GOD's Given,
and eventually, in Time we Fall.

My Knees have bled, my elbows too,
in fact, I've tasted this earth.

Lessons of Living, Fast Lanes I've Driven.
Though GOD has been with me since Birth.

His Garden is Growing, His Seed, my Heart,
His Soil, This Life I'm Blessed to Live.

We are all but Flowers, under One Son.
The Tree of Life, GOD's Plan to Give.

Peace Always <><

Yes God has been with us since birth.
He gave us the fruits from the earth.
In order for us to eat so we could thrive.
In this life we have learned how to survive.

But yet it is up to us the path we chose.
We can be fruitful and beautiful as a Rose.
Or slowly smoother the light while darkness consumes.
In our hearts we desire to be that beautiful Rose that blooms.

Things don’t always go our way.
They evil seem to lurk in the shadows each day.
We try so hard to stand tall.
Knowing there are others trying to make us fall.

The weak at times they will take.
They wait in the dark ready to strike like a snake.
When they know, there is no one is around.
They slither out from the dark and quickly take them down.

God looks on as the Angels all rejoice.
Hoping all will hear the music from there voice.
Open your eyes and see there reaching out is a hand.
He is there for you with his love and will understand.

He sees a heart that is pure.
And all the pain it has had to endure.
All one must do is grab the hand that is there today.
He will give you the strength within to walk his way.

Awwww Cybear thank you very much indeed for your kind words. I hear you
and very well understand how you feel. For me I have been divorced for
16 years now. My kids are grown I have a beautiful 4 yr old
grandaughter. But now yeah at times I do wonder if my choices had been
differnt in life would I still be alone after the kids are gone.
But...... regardless of the out come the choices I made in life
concerning raising my kids would still remain only thing I would have
done differnt there would to have spent even more time with them

Do you see my hand?
It is the time we each much take a stand.
Learn to make our own choices.
It’s time not to listen to all the other voices.

They need to learn to live there own lives.
We will know when that time arrives.
We need to make the choice of which path to follow.
At times there may come a time we must swallow.

What we think is pride but actually is the right thing.
So we can start to enjoy our lives and let our heart sing.
A song of life and forgiveness it is time for us.
Stop looking back for now its time to progress.

See life as it should be filled with things to see.
And learn to be the person we want to be.
You see this is you life, so learn to live it.
It is time to your self to finally admit.

Quit hanging on to the hurt and all the pain.
From the past learn again to go play in the rain.
Bring the laughter and smiles back.
It’s time to get back on track.

cross the same path at one time or other in life. With at times having
the same situation it just turns out differt in the end.bigsmile

Time we remember what it is like.
Just to feel the wind on our face when riding a bike.
Time that we to let go of the pain.
Once again go outside and play in the rain.

Forget your worries for the day.
Sit down with a child and just play.
Through the years it seems.
That we forget all about our dreams.

We get so caught up in life looking for a date.
As we try to find that perfect mate.
We no longer see the beauty in the sunrise.
Or what it is like to look through a child’s eyes.

We have forgotten all about us.
All we can think about is success.
Is it all really worth it?
Its time that we all need to a finally admit.

Its time we stop and think.
Remember how much fun we had at the skating rink.
Or even outside playing baseball.
Swinging the bat and hitting a fly ball.

Those were the things that use to bring a smile to our face.
That made our life so worthwhile.
You see it can happen again.
We can find out again how much fun it is to play in the rain
