My life has always been like a book Divided by chapters, as the pages turn Now I sit here thinking for a moment Reflecting on what I've learned There is a reason for everything Even when the reason hurts us deep There are just some things not worth worrying over No sense in losing sleep The truth is always in front of us Sometimes though we don't want to see The battle is long, and sometimes we don't win It's not about that though, it's about loving yourself in the end Moments pass so quickly We think the years will continue on and on Before we know it though, we've come to the end As our lives are just touching love songs I'm learning just to live in the moment Let the world continue in a hurry around me I'm going to stop right here for a second It's nice to just be... "When life gives you sorrow, may you experience the spirit of laughter" |

It's nice to just be... Yes it is isn't it dear? A lovely write hon Maree Beauty of the world which is soon to perish has two edges, one of laughter and one of anguish, cutting the heart asunder. |
