Maybe

Maybe if I stop looking,
It wouldn't be so hard to find.
Maybe if I stop trying,
I won't be so far behind.
And maybe if I stop dreaming
about the light of tomorrow's day.
Maybe then I'll start to see
every little thing your way.

But maybe's are yesterday,
     a shattered memory.
Maybe's aren't the only way
     to set yourself free.

And if I can't try to be just one:
A single flame from the sun
A single grain from a field
A single blow on this sheild..
What's life worth more than I
To where I can say: No More! No More!
Until classified as lost.. but what is really found is myself.
For sometimes when I have felt as though all was lost...
All was not lost.
More was gained.
Gained through suffering,
Gained through pain,
Gained through happiness,
And willingly gained again.
Even knowledge will be unveiled as a tragedy may occur,
To prevent these feelings from ever again being stirred.

So maybe isn't good enough.
Maybe is a lost child in the confusion of loss:
Where? Where is?
Where was? Where why when how what can you...?
Be Sure!
Hold strong.
Take heed to those who cannot....
feel their pain, their misery, feel their agony.
Understand, talk, insure: "I've been there to, my friend."

All is not lost.
For tomorrow the sun will rise again,
And I will be there to greet it with a smile.


"In this very breath that we take now lies the secret that all great teachers try to tell us."
