Dieing Life

When life begins what should you do? Unfortunately there is an illustration that goes with it that could not be put on.
As young little toddlers.
We live in rose colored bubbles,
Where nothing can harm us.
We love the world,
And assume the world loves us.
We smell all the flowers,
And pet all the animals,
Without a clue.

At age fifteen the shield is lifted,
In a swish the darkness is gone,
Cold reality stares us in the face.
Throws us twists and turns.
Love is a lie,
Broken hearts are all we think about.
That veil was our protection,
And now we're in harms way,
And no one knows it.

Run and Hide
For Life Has Begun!

Come, come now,
Reality ain't all that bad.
The sun shines above us all,
Connecting each and every one of us.
When life begins,
Hold your arms open,
And give it a hug.
You have one life to live,
Cherish it greatly.
If anything does,
Death is what harms us,
Haunts us,
It’s a stalker.

Open Your Arms
For Life Has Begun!

Open You Arms
For Life Is Over!
