No Happy Ending

Solutions are not always there,
Sometimes there is no way out,
Sometimes life isn't always fair,
Sometimes all we can do is shout.

Sometime the deck against us is stacked,
Sometimes we have run out of luck,
Sometimes our dream world is cracked,
And in a kind purgatory we are stuck.

Sometimes there is no happy ending,
Sometimes things only seem to get worse,
Sometimes it seems doom is pending,
And that around the corner looms the hearse.

The Grave

The grave beckons us at last,
The final resting place,
When our time on earth is past,
And we have run our race.

Fame, fortune, what profit are they?
The grave distinguishes not,
For when we have passed away,
Nothing anymore of earth have we got.

We all lie down as one,
In that abode of the dead,
For when our life on earth is done,
In the grave we make our bed.

The Human Spirit

Maybe tomorrow things will be better,
That is what we tell ourself each day,
Even though everything seems so grim,
We never completely cast all hope away.

We are programmed to always have hope,
Even when there is no reason for it,
Even when common sense rules it out,
And I guess that is why we never quit.

Because the human spirit never gives up,
Never sees a mountain too high,
Or an obstacle too great to overcome,
That is why we never say die.

Lemonade

When life hands some people lemons,
They make it into lemonade,
They don't let life get them down,
And of life's worst they are unafraid;

To them the glass is always half full,
They always look on the bright side,
They never dwell on past misfortune,
But always with hope in the future abide;

They have their share of problems and woes,
They are no different than you or I,
But their cheerful optimism prevails,
When we would tend to despair and cry.




Everyone Is Special

Everyone is special in their own way,
Everyone has something important to say,
Everyone has a special light shining bright,
Everyone is a unique star beaming in the night;

Everyone has their own song to sing,
Everyone is talented and gifted at something,
Everyone has their own unique qualities,
Everyone has their own special abilities;

Everyone is a pearl of great price,
Everyone is a bird of paradise,
Everyone with hope and love doth trod,
Everyone is a special person to God.
