Living...

not every day is Spring time
some days are cold and stormy
but a day none the less
to breathe and to live

not every glass is made of crystal
some are old cracked ceramic
but hold water just the same
to drink from and be nourished

not every seed will grow
some will give way for another
but a flower will come forth
to be enjoyed and adored

not every path is easy to follow
some are rocky and narrow
but what they lead to
brings wisdom and gain

not every love will last forever
some will be lost and disappear
but it will not change the fact
of what was given

not all dreams will become reality
some will turn away and flee
but never ever stop dreaming
in that lies hope and peace
