Living Isn't Easy

Life so precious so misunderstood, unbelievable, sometimes you wander off the waters shore, sometimes you feel you are drowning. In all your troubles
How is it possible, it seems impossible at times
To love, to hate, to breathe, to accept what can't be changed can living be enough, when it gets tough
When you are young, then you grow up, then you grow old The growing pains, the weeds in the yard you can't pull up
They get in the way, finally they die, they don't stay
Like the newly formed leaves on a tree in the spring
So bright, they wave in the breeze, and shine in the sunlight
Time changes, and so do we, the leaves begin to fade, they wither away and blow with the wind like a lost kite
Living isn't easy, but dying seems much harder
Death takes hold and disease destroys the body, and we must say goodbye
Though every end has a beginning, and tears of sorrow make us cry
Though the time shall come  when we smile once more 
Though sometimes it's just not that easy, sometimes we forget we once loved one another
