Life is made up of a handful of pockets
One for hope we share with loved ones
One for the truth we hope people are strong enough to tell
One for the lies we know we have to keep but often have to shedd
One for the past we work hard to change
and One for the future we try endlessly to shape
So we mix
One lie to cover the truth that was never meant for your ears
We shed tears upon the hope that was meant for all those who lost their loved ones, then
Reflect upon the dreams meant for those who close their eyes hoping for more on the other side of tomorrow
Then once all is said and done, all we can do is pray for the strength to get through it all
