Will Still

Will Still

The sun will still shine and birds will still sing the rain will still fall along with the leaves from the trees while the waves will still crash down upon the sandy beach 

snow will still fall in the mountains

in the winter at least who knows

how deep the flowers will still

bloom when it comes to the spring

the rivers will still flow and the fish will still swim in the oceans and lakes birthdays will still come to

blow out candle sticks christmas

will still come except there will be one person less that would be me

Just more food for you to eat maybe less presents under the tree then a new year will still come

the next will still too bombs will

still drop and bullets will still fly killing innocent people who will 

still die in wars around the world

before breakfast I never knew why

the moon will still rise every single 

Night just as the sun will fall in the 

west making love to each other

as they have done now for ages humans will still fight over some

thing called religion they all say

actually stands for peace but I have never seen it we still pray to God and believe in son Jesus who they say will rise again I say leave him in peace yes. The only thing different for you is I am no longer here like billions before me as time waits for no one for there is not a reason when we are all born then

we live but eventually death will

come calling and then we die

buried and forgotten yet as you 

see the world will keep spinning but not before we have had had a chance to know love, hate, pain, 

joy, and even pleasure in no

certain order so to all the people I

have ever known and even the

ones I knew just know you have brought to me all of that and more

so please when I go let the tears

fall and greive that I am gone just 

like your supposed to but please

remember you will need to move

on as you must live your own life just as I have done and you will to

let us try to leave this world a little

bit better then when we got here

so please be kind and smile at

strangers try to be yourself do not

ever live your life behind fear or for

someone else do not be afraid of what people think of you be afraid of what you think of yourself.

Never assume that you really know

someone's intentions because

there are so many wolf's dressed

in sheep's clothing when you feel like you are all alone and believe

me you will and it feels that

nobody loves you remember that 

I love you and always will and to love yourself before anybody else

when someone tells you that you cannot make sure you show them

that you can and hold on to all of

your dreams as long as you can.

and to live your the best that You you know how and one last piece

of advice always remember that

you yourself and nobody else are

the author of your own life's story

It is you that will write down the

pages of your life some of those

chapters will be good some will be

bad and you may not have had control of the beginning but you

sure in the hell can dictate the end.
