There is darkness and there is light
Life is sad and sometimes bright
Sun rises everyday and then sun sets
We lose in life and sometimes we get
Life is a difficult challenge each day
We try to balance it and carefully play
This never ending long game of lose and win
And find life's firm path sometimes in spin
There are too many questions and the painful Why
That we never get answers or satisfactory reply
Time goes too fast and we can not always hold
So we need to shun cowardliness and be bold
And despite all fear we must continue to learn
To live this life patiently and gracefully earn
Love, hope, care and a lot of light to share
And get rid of darkness, doubt and fear.
