From Life's Other Side

ForeverJesus7

Life is too short,

to worry about dying.

For after you're gone,

it's a mighty long time.

From on top of the world,

to the edge of tomorrow,

I've pondered the thought,

of losing my mind.

 

So dear to my heart,

was no one that mattered,

but something was wrong.

She didn't say what.

For she left this whole world,

for a brighter tomorrow,

and she left me down here,

on life's other side.

 

For day after day,

of trouble and sorrow,

brings night after night,

of worry and stride.

If something don't change,

my way by tomorrow,

then I'm going to walk,

to life's other side.

 

There is no need at all,

in bottled up feelings,

and the lucid dreams,

are so hard to find.

For I'm down on my knees,

and low down trees;

Oh, the journey with thee,

to life's other side.

 

So live for the day,

and face your tomorrow,

though the road may be long,

and I know just as wide.

For I picture my world,

with no pain and sorrows.

What a wonderful view,

from life's other side.

 

For day after day,

of trouble and sorrow,

brings night after night,

of worry and stride.

If something don't change,

my way by tomorrow,

oh, then I'm going to walk,

to life's other side.

 

If something don't change,

my way by tomorrow,

oh, then I'm going to walk,

to life's other side.

  • Comment from author about the poem: I actually took this piece from the bluegrass song, 'From Life's Other Side', by Woody Guthrie. It is a beautiful song that I think is sung even better by Lee Ann Womack. Persistence is Key
