"Life goes on....." or so they say,

as I gather strength for another day.

To live and learn to love and let go,

at the end it's too late for what we now know.

My triumphs I hold here in my head,

Losses my heart will hold 'til I lay dead.

You must learn each day in order to live.

If it takes all you've got you must learn to forgive.

"That which does not kill us makes us stronger..."

But Lord my strength can't sustain much longer.

Through all my trials you must agree~

Dear Lord ,

I am as strong as I think I will ever be.

So now what? What will I see?

When the burdens of Life release me.

Beautiful angels in comforting song,

And will you forgive me for all of my wrongs?

Will anyone remember me here?

Will anyone shed a tear?

My words seem to fade each passing year,

My thoughts are slower and not as clear.

And so as "Life goes on..." ; or so they say,

I will gather my strengths for another day.
