We drink from the river of life
That will never run dry
For is is filled with the happy and sad
Tears that we cry.
Hearts will break
Others will mend
How long does it take
On us it will depend.
We go through life
The time can be short or long
We all strive
To find the place where we belong.
The journey we take
We hope before it comes to an end
We can find one person
That we can truly call friend.
To stand in a meadow
And smell the spring air
To be able to walk in the rain
Without a single care.
Just to be able
To share your heart
To give someone love
Someone with whom you'll never part.
To share a joke
A laugh or two
Especially on those sad days
When the sun refuses to shine through.
We just need to remind ourselves
As we travel on our journey
That we need to tell the world
I am proud to be me.
