There must be more to life than this
At least we ought to try
To find some meaning which doesn't depend
On the amount of money you're able to spend
Which you probably haven't earned yet anyway

There must be more to life than this
I've been thinking it for years
The eating, the drinking, the loving, the living
The buying, the selling, the taking and giving
It's enough to drive anyone to tears

There must be more to life than this
I wish I believed in God
Then perhaps some comfort would come from the teaching
The psalms and the prayers, the hymns and the preaching
But I'm afraid all that still seems quite odd

There must be more to this than life
Perhaps we find out when we die
That may mean four decades of misery and tears
Before I find the cure for my fears
So I think
I'll go now

Goodbye

Love is like Mumps.....the older you are when you catch it....the worse it feels

I would rather have one breath of his hair,
one kiss of his mouth,
one touch of his hand
than an eternity without it.

This is sad, and it hurts to think about so many feeling this exact way. I've heard that more people commit suicide in the holiday season than at any other time. I truly hope that this is only a poem and you don't know anyone who is feeling this way now??

Heart hugs to you

I do hope this is only a poem
though I can feel the depth of emotion showing at least some is true. But let it only be a poem.. and not really the note...

Always, Alyssa

He was a man of sorrows
...I am a girl of tears.
