Worthwhile

The things I fear I dread to fear 

The things I hear not always clear 

The things I see not always easy 

To erase from my mind, never easy 

 

Twisted metal or on a random floor 

Always an unknown through that door 

Grasping for life or already died 

Hoping in the end I\'ll know I tried 

 

A life just started or one near the end 

When taken to soon it\'s hard to pretend 

Loved ones distraught I keep my emotions 

Their tragedy requires complete devotion 

 

When death steps aside and life prevails 

Overwhelming happiness never fails 

An aged grin or a youthful smile 

Helping in someway makes it seem worthwhile
