Nothing Lasts Forever

 

Our days on earth we

try to find a bit of joy,

To hold within our arms,

what time cannot destroy.

 

Like petals in the wind,

we drift from here to there,

Because nothing lasts forever,

except for what we share.

 

And even though we hold

our dreams within our heart,

It's in human nature's way

to tear it all apart.

 

And so it is we strive

in faith to carry on,

When all is said and done,

when all we've loved is gone.

 

But if we can contain

some peace within our mind,

Our heart will often follow

and happiness we'll find.
