Walk through a graveyard
And you will soon find
Names of big heroes
Whose work will come to mind
Their ashes now scattered
in the wind
Or buried deep
Under the earth
While people over them weep…
And sing praises of their worth..
Which makes you wonder
If your life is worthwhile too..
As you stumble and walk
And your many actions rue..
In the dark your shadow also leaves your side
In old age, your body cannot its problems, hide
You spent your life giving all that you had
To people around you, and were so glad
But finally the glass shatters
And the mirage and illusions are lost
And you will be stunned
At what they had actually cost
So stay grounded
And live a life that’s worth living.
A life of laughter, of caring, and of giving..
