Why wait?

At Last

It seems so long ago

I used to have a glow,

Now I wonder why

I just want to cry,

Why am I so sad

It can't be all that bad,

It could be my past

Why does nothing last.

Every year a Spring

New life it will bring,

That is what I need

The planting of a seed,

To watch something grow

Even though I know,

That nothing ever lasts.

But green it will be

Something fun to see,

New life at its best

Who would have guessed,

Eyes open wide

I don't want to hide.

Time to feel alive

For that I will strive,

If I sit and cry

Life will pass me by,

So let's have a blast

Why can't it last?
