I think we are where we ought to be

Other lives look enticing, but their problems are deep

They smile in the day and toss in their sleep

They hide bruises on their skin by wearing long sleeves

He drinks a lot and in church she always weeps

If you visit their home, you realize that in separate beds they sleep

Do not be worried about your circumstances

Do not covet your neighbors and second guess your life’s choices

Put on a blindfold of Trust

Put pressure on your knees and call on God above

This life of ours is a one-shot thing

The majority of us get it right on the deathbed when dying

Death is inevitable and there is always crying

I wish we all get a chance to make a decision before passing.
