Life’s Certainty



This kind of certainty only comes but once in a lifetime.

Through all of life’s quests
the most memorable ones are accomplished with friends and family.

Through these quests great might of the heart, for its strength to not give up.

The struggle for independence is sought after, by multitudes
of giving hands.

The pedestal of the grand
phenomenon of love, stands forth greatness
in one's self reflection.

Nothing great comes from one man alone.

The worst death, is not living life.

The frame of your
body, soul, might, love, and spirit, is only where from your mind escapes.

Tomorrow, the past, the present and the
wake leads unopened eyes.

With faith we trudge into tomorrow with one gleam of hope.

The first awakening of seeing the morning dew.

You and I greeting the sun
together side by side.

What life brings to us.
