We The Living We the living have our paths to tread Not for us the ways of the dead The light they follow isn’t our light It won’t lead us to their beloved sight We have to walk the roads we know Follow the river and onward go The road we walk may be dark it’s true But somehow some when we’ll get through We the living each have a destiny Something we must do and a place to be We can’t lie down and fade from view We have our lives and duty to do If it were as simple as giving in We’d be seduced by that sweet sin But we have a path that goes ever on Until the day that life has gone We the living have our marks to make We must go on for our soul’s sake Even if you rushed to meet your soul mate There’s no forcing the hand of fate So live your life, be all that you will There in your heart the dead live still They are proud of you, and know this Your soul will be held in eternal bliss We the living must live each and every day Until the time when to heaven we sail away Marsha Tomorrow is another day I don't know what it holds |

It's a long, painful journey to reach these conclusions... but no one could have written better of the acceptance that the feet must keep moving even when the heart seems to have stopped. This is lovely, Mushy One... but not nearly as beautiful as the heart that penned it... and I know that angel on your shoulder is smiling with pride in you and your strength. *S* |
