DEAR LIFE

Dear life
I appreciate the beauty
That my eyes can see
But my question is why do you insist on trying to torture me?

I appreciate the sun rise
I appreciate the sunsets
I cannot understand the rain
Because I'm always drenched and wet

I appreciate the flowers
And the clouds that make me wonder
I love the ocean
Except for the waves that takes me under

I love the birds chirp
And glasses clanking to celebratory cheers
I love to watch people smile
As I wipe away my tears

I love to see innocent babies
I love the wisdom of my elders
Yet when I celebrate life
I get lost in deaths cellar

If you haven't learned yet
I'm stronger than you think
No matter how big the waves
I refuse to sink

Instead of showing tears
I decided to smile
It was fake at first
But joy made it real after a while

While I mourn death
Its not the end
I'm wrapped up in the grace
That My God sends

He tells me to trust him
While a new me he creates
In order to perfect me
And show the world he is great

God makes it possible
For you to tell your story
Because when they see the outcome
My Lord gets all the glory

My message is simple
A new you he will make
All that flexing and bending
He won't let you break

My message is simple
A new you he will make
All that flexing and bending
He won't let you break
