About Just Like Me

LIFE IS SO PRECIOUS

Life is so precious...
Day to day we take for granted 
What someone else can’t imagine...
Slowly  it kills  me inside.
Life is so precious...
Day in and  day out  stressing
following a direction seldom traveled
not learning from my lessons
repeating the same nonsense and expecting many blessings 
Life is so precious...All the while there’s a child
who sits back waiting
for the Pursuit  of which all for granted we are taking
as the time goes on
we fail to realize
that child grows on
older and older
in suffrage of the cold shoulder
the breadcrumbs  of ignorance  
to them beauty in the eye of the beholder poison  turned nourishment holding them over
hearts hardened your load them the holder
Life is so precious...
how can we cry out we love...
yet we doom their hearts from the start
how can we cry out love...continuing to usher
but not playing our Parts
