all our lives,
we plan and pray
things may not work out
we dream,anyway.

look at the divorces,
loves taken a backseat
more 'me',less 'us',
we wed,anyway.

we hold our pets,
too close to our hearts
eventually they die,
we love them,anyway.

we study hard,
burn the midnight oil,
we may fail exams,
we try our best, anyway.

lifes often hard,
putting a foot forward,
waking up some mornings,
don't seem worth the discomfort.

in those hard times,
it picks us up,
it never leaves us,
not until we let it so.

its hope it is,
that makes us
live,
anyway.
