One Life
Have you ever sat and wondered if life might be just a painful dream
That we may well be living in some spectral long lost time
Do you feel that lifes expectations are not always what they seem
Or can you think about a moment when your life was incredibly sublime
Even a time when you felt so exceptionally happy you could cry
But then comes upset, pain and heartache and we ask the reason why
Look into your soul and seek the answer truly with your heart
For honesty is extremely fundamental to the answers that we seek
If this life of ours is real then we all have a special human part
The pain and hurt we sometimes face must never make us sad or weak
After all we all have something special that not all people get
Our lives should be valued for life’s a precious gift let’s not forget
Do we really feel that our existence is for some very worthwhile reason
Then we must not let our old adversaries pain and heartache have their way
Instead we should all look bravely forward to each and every season
Make the most of life and enjoy our time as if it was our last earthly day
For in this life there are other folk who are so much worse than us
Despite pain, frailty and hardship they never ever make a fuss
The very act of growing old is not really all that bad
With age there comes more wisdom, tolerance and grace
There is also more time to reflect on the good times that we’ve had
Enjoying a sense of contentment as life takes on a slower pace
With our caring friends and family as our source of strength and pride
Taking strength from one another we will take most troubles in our stride
So our lives should not be thought as just a strange and sad enigma
We have one chance in this world so we must really make it count
Not waste our time or cause any hurt we don’t want that sort of stigma
As long as love and caring are the values we take as paramount
So we must make the best of this life and be good to our family and friend\'s
For when our life is over we can’t come back to make amends
