when life happens
you don’t often know
there is no warning
no chance to get ready
and do your best
there just is what is
and you go with that
look again. linger in
those eyes that carry
immeasurable love for you
tomorrow when you are broken
they will sustain you
lift you and make you smile
you were so busy
you stopped looking
you forgot to pause
and things happened
suddenly now you stop
and realize what it is
to truly live
to breathe fully
to feel whole again
when life happens
you don’t often know
so get ready now
do what you must
be who you want to be
reach for the sky
and fill your heart with love
[...] live again… [...]
