JOURNEYS
 

Cling tightly to what matters most,
burn the image into your mind,
for deep down inside we know it ends,
we're alone at the end we find.

We face a good-bye with all we know,
for it is what life brings,
so face tomorrow with all your might,
time flies as if it had wings.

Enjoy all the time that you can,
teach your children the same,
it's our appreciation of being alive,
it's the same by any name.

Mankind advances, all else remains,
will we ever break through and KNOW?
It is this quest that drives us forward,
we're all team-mates in the show.

On our journey, we must survive,
we make choices and give our best,
we each must be our own best friend,
for it is who you'll know the longest.

There are joys and tears along our way,
many people will come and go,
saying goodbye will become a part,
you'll love, hug and care even so.

Suddenly as all before, your path will end,
it will disappear, written in time,
until then enjoy each tick that you can,
enjoy your now as I do mine.
