Was never there
How cryptic and puzzling?
His heart was not sincere

The night storms on through
Sunset kicks in
Time will soon pass on
Another day is gone my friend
We set aside ideas
For what tomorrow will bring
Moments are manifested wisely
Then, we start all over again

When a loved one passes away
You will feel lots of pain
As you continue on with life
The clouds appear with lots of rain
All that is left, are fond memories
Think of the good times that appeared
Remember the lessons that you were taught
And the good cheer shared over the years

Many obstacles are there in place
You may encounter treacherous terrain while on stage
But, you must keep on going
Live it up and stay within the range

There are those times
Where some people may need a helping hand
They may struggle a bit
As they travel across the land
Offer compassion and sympathy
Assist one another along the way
Be that beacon of light
That guides them through the day

There comes a time
Where we have to weather the storm
The outlook may look bleak
And it may differ from the norm
With all that is going on
We have to hang in there

There is nothing but a dark path
When a person engages in substance abuse
Your world comes crashing down
There is sadly everything for you to lose
All hope will fade
Nothing ever seems right
Uncertainty looms in every moment
When darkness overtakes the light

There is nothing but a rough road
That lies there ahead
Instead of wasting your life away
Get some help instead
There is zero excuse
For a person to lay below the water
Quit using narcotics
And get your mind out of the gutter

There is nothing but darkness
When a person is uncertain
Living in poverty
Is a sad situation for all to see
Just pick yourself up
And enhance your life
It is all up to you
To make things bright

There is nothing wrong
When you are alone in silence
You often ponder grand thoughts
To later give you the strength and guidance
A light shines brightly
The path is now clear
You can now find your way
Those clouds will eventually disappear

There may be times that may seem cloudy
But, you have to keep pace
One just can not give up hope
And if you do, you would sadly fall out of place
Have the strength and courage
To push yourself even harder
The battle will test you intensely
Let it make you wiser and sharper
