IT'S SAD
 

It's sad to see how people,
just wilt and wither away,
it's sad to see the promise,
as they sit and await their day.

It's sad to see how people,
so easily accept what life brings,
how they've lost all hope and desire,
and assume happiness has strings.

It's sad to see how people,
are so glued into fear,
and aren't even aware,
when something good is near.

With life being but a short burst of time,
and hands offering held all around,
so sad to see so many afraid,
like they don't even hear a sound.

How many do you know,
that are afraid just to live,
and always run and hide,
with each piece of love you give?

To hide behind that wall of fear,
to never trust or believe.
to just stay in their sheltered place,
without any happiness to relieve.

So sad to think of the children raised,
in this world of fear and doubt,
for they will spend their lives not sure,
not knowing what life is about.

So sad to think of life passing by,
and so many hidden away,
so much time to think and cry,
with life melting, day to sad day.

I'm always reaching to touch,
someone who is pain and fear,
it hurts me to see them run away,
when someone who cares comes near.

So, if you know someone,
who is afraid to trust,
who lives a life in doubt,
who doesn't believe anything,
and is SURE that life is sad..

Touch them and give a smile,
be patient and share your time,
tell them you really care,
and know that they are aware,
that love and friendship are to share.
