The Truth From the purest beginning To the unknown end, From an open heart To the one I defend Time will keep going, Lives will keep changing. Hearts will be hurt And need rearranging. What we go through-- More yet to learn. What seems so for certain May yet take a turn. Do we live for today, Or hope for tomorrow? Feel all the pain, Or avoid all the sorrow? Do all you can, You'll know what's too much. Dance with reality Without losing touch. Everyday can't be flawless, Each day has it's pain; So we go on pushing For each new gain And live on the edge Of what's labeled insane. Donna L. Simpkins
