"Just a suggestion---"

We have only these few moments
To grope from womb to tomb.
And, yet, we seem determined
To trample every bloom.

With downcast eyes we stumble
Through days made dark by fear
And nights of desperation
Filled with sobs no one will hear.

Why not choose love and laughter?
Savor each and every day!
Tell those we love we love them
And make the time to play!

In that inevitable moment
When our final breath has passed,
Let's smile in satisfaction
That the love we loved will last.

the moments few
sometimes it feels some of the
memories should be erased.
Surely, it's a challenge to
improve on all these,
things we miss.


A suggestion can also
be guidance.

Who can you trust?

Sometimes it takes a lot of dedication
or faith in something other than oneself
I suppose.
