I know the hardest times of all are easier to bear When I share my love with those I know who show they really care. Whether my dreams will succeed or whether they will fail I won’t know till they happen. Till then I’ll plan and wait. Waiting for the day they open up the prison gates.   Time is past and future. Time can set the pace Time can mean uncertainty which we must embrace Time can be a friend or foe depending on your view Be ready for what comes your way and live your life anew   Sometimes a level playing field is stretched out on the road. Though, stones are thrown my way to burden with a heavy load. When the world seems stacked against me and my future seems so bleak, A way out creeps into my life before my heart can bleed.   Life isn’t always on my side. I have to duck and dive To find a way to solve and fix the issues that would take my life. But when despair just hunts me down I know it won’t be long Before my life can breathe again and make me feel like I belong.   A generation comes and goes and passes on through time. We have but just a moment to make a mark then leave behind The memories that we made and shared and lost along the way Leaving to the next in line to face each brand new day.   Many different paths to take, don’t know which way to go All that I want, all I can have, the road that’s clear I may never know I’ll look out for life’s chances and swallow painful pride Take time to understand life so time stays on my side.
