life is so short
when measured over time
but measure it it a different way
and i think that you will find
that certain lives
are long and fulfilling
full of joy and happiness
and god willing
love

love is all around us
but some of us do not see
until it is to late
for love to set us free
from hatred and from sorrow
and depression and remorse
no love in your life
will steer you on a course
of darkness

darkness can be overcome
with a shining light
and one thing that shines so
strong, intense and bright
can be found by all
if you just look around
at those that are there for you
with love they will surround
your life.
