Light shines to break the hold of dusk
Like opened curtains
New days begins with dawn
Before the last bell rings
And days journey of trails and triumphs
Ends with a tick on calendars, box archived
Neither a borrower or a lender
Should I be, must I be, shall I be, in form
As a permanent state, cast in bronze
I shall build up occasions to celebrate life
For troubles stops when time stops
When life is nothing but a faded past
Let me bleed to testify my existence
Let me strive to appreciate gain
Make me mortal to appreciate living
Let my tears run off my face like road maps
Let rain touch my delicate skin
So I can appreciate the senses
Let me smile and frown
Laughs and yell
To build up my facial muscles
Let me love and hate
Admire, appreciate and envy
Give me my shortfalls and strength
Let me know the true essence of living
And accept mountains as pillars
To be measured by, as stepping stones
In between I mark calenders
To celebrate life, when curtains open
New day begins with dawn
Like opened curtains
New days begins with dawn
Before the last bell rings
And days journey of trails and triumphs
Ends with a tick on calendars, box archived
Neither a borrower or a lender
Should I be, must I be, shall I be, in form
As a permanent state, cast in bronze
I shall build up occasions to celebrate life
For troubles stops when time stops
When life is nothing but a faded past
Let me bleed to testify my existence
Let me strive to appreciate gain
Make me mortal to appreciate living
Let my tears run off my face like road maps
Let rain touch my delicate skin
So I can appreciate the senses
Let me smile and frown
Laughs and yell
To build up my facial muscles
Let me love and hate
Admire, appreciate and envy
Give me my shortfalls and strength
Let me know the true essence of living
And accept mountains as pillars
To be measured by, as stepping stones
In between I mark calenders
To celebrate life, when curtains open
New day begins with dawn
I especially like the last stanza. Opening the curtain right now, I walk into a new day, a new beginning!
