THE BEGINNING

We come in to this life

alone,

fighting our way into existence

We build our life,

our families and friends,

we build the petals around us

We play and laugh,

we love and romance,

we marry and an give birth

to a piece of us.

Then one day

its taken away,

the thing we take 

for granted

Life is a wonderful thing

we all take it for granted,

never put off till tomorrow

the things you want to say,

life is cruel

and maybe taken away,

you may never get the chance to say them

we end our life

as we began,

alone and unsure,

we have to tread

that road alone,

to a place that we are unsure of

we leave behind

our families and friends

and take a step unknown,

into the light 

we walk uncertain

to a new and wonderful life,

of this i am  certain

to wait for those we left behind

and once again be reunited.
