This Life

This Life

©2002 by Bud Lemire

In this life, we are given love that is the best

To travel down each road, and meet every test

We handle anything, that comes our way

And smile, and let the sun shine every day

But sometimes this life, is on shakey ground

This is when tears come, and when love is all around

For this life is short, and time can go so fast

To appreciate all we have, because it doesn't last

We learn to give love, to the weak and to the strong

We find out the difference, between what's right and what's wrong

And we help others, as they travel down their road

Our loving friendship, to help them carry their load

We are blessed in this life, to have so much love

And to share it with those, who have the cry of the dove

Their wings are broken, and they can no longer fly

They have traveled far in this life, but now they just get by

Their pain is real, and we feel it too

In this life, we give our love to help them to get through

We comfort them, and lessen all their pain

Until the day they fly again, to the Heavenly domain

With a heart so loving, I find it feels so wonderful

in this life to help others who need a hand, or just

some friendly advice, or just a smiling face to talk

to. For we all have those days when life seems to

be harder, and we all need a friend to share our

burdens with. Their presence is so uplifting.
