more than a glance...

somewhere far off someone laughs,
at the very same moment a baby takes its first breath,
and though on some rainy night a son cries over his dying mother,
the next morning the sun will arise with a fresh rejuvenating power

a man will wipe the sweat from his brow,
a woman, the tears from her eyes
and though his strength and pride be broken,
and she her heart and dreams,
their pain will not go unnoticed,
their effort, their tears, their love

the music may fade away,
the laughs turned into hate and rage,
torn and tattered
sick of being flattered
you no longer see the stars

but this is life, made of joy and sorrow
made of love and learning,
made of pain and courage
and it’s worth a second thought,

....yes, a very precious thought.

: thank you God, for life:
