Life
Tony Ledford 1991 (Greenville)
Life, oh life, what a mystery divine,
A journey full of twists and turns, a grand design, From the moment we're born, till the day we die,
We embark on a journey, with every breath and sigh.
We start as tiny beings, helpless and frail, But with time, we grow, we learn, we prevail, We crawl, we walk, we run, we play,
We dream, we hope, we live, day by day.
As we grow, we discover the world around, Its beauty, its wonders, its sights and sounds, The sun, the moon, the stars up high,
The mountains, the oceans, the endless sky.
We make friends, we fall in love, we laugh and cry, We experience joy, we feel pain, we question why, We learn to love, to forgive, to let go,
To embrace the present, to cherish the flow.
We face challenges, we make mistakes,
We stumble and fall, we take risks and breaks, But we get back up, we learn to rise,
To find our strength, to seek the prize.
We work hard, we pursue our dreams,
We strive for success, we aim for extremes, We find our passion, we follow our heart, We make a difference, we play our part.
And as we journey through life's winding road,
We realize that it's not just about the load,
But about the people we meet, the memories we make, The love we give, the difference we create.
For life is a gift, a precious treasure, A journey of love, of joy, of pleasure, It's a chance to shine, to be our best, To live each moment, to pass the test.
So let us embrace life with open arms,
With gratitude, with hope, with all its charms, For life is a journey, a beautiful ride,
A chance to live, to love, to thrive.
