Just One Life
Just one life
We are given to
Try to make
Sense of how
Justify why and know where
One brief feeble chance
Just one life
Oh so much to do
Thirsts to slake
Disavow
Senseless worry to forebear
Of each laugh and dance
Just one life
Daily choices anew
For heartache
To allow
Joy or worry time to snare
Hinder or enhance
Just one life
But so much more you
See just take
A breath now
Energy of all you share
Not happenstance
