Mortal hearts and minds tend to sway

With the things that we do or say

Have we moved on to find the right way

Or did we just lock em up and hide em away

Perhaps when they resurface one day

We might realize that it's still on replay

At times we fall and reflect as we lay

Whether to climb back up or just stay

We find means and ways to be okay

At times there's even a price to pay

In every darkness we'll find a ray

It's the here and now that brings what may

A favorite dress that got a stain

The grade which was unable to obtain

Lying on the beach when it starts to rain

The feeling when falling down the drain

High expectations which turned out too plain

No one to turn to when you wanna complain

Pushing too hard to hold back and retain

Emotions which one tries hard to contain

As we brood over what's defined as pain

Allowing the past to hold us back again and again

We tend to forget about the present that's main

Every moment alive here and now is a gain

There's so much more you could share

Adventures which many of us won't dare

A father, a mentor, a friend of so rare

You've thought me much beyond compare

This final lesson to treasure the lives we love and care

Have an wonderful and awesome journey up there

Just watched "Into the Woods"

An interesting musical twist of fairy tales

Hidden meanings which brings different moods

Bringing children stories to different scales

Our path of constant discovery

Every breath is an opportunity

Without trying no point feeling sorry

Life ain't about counting probability

Sometimes the answers may vary

Even with the slightest possibility

Absence make the heart grow fonder

Presence somehow makes it wander

Kinda ironic but makes one ponder

The little things that make us bother

But in fact we are here for one another

To be there to lift up each other

Vivid Images suddenly resurfaced

Feelings and emotions one cannot phrase

Moments which cannot be retraced

Each chapter dawns a new phase

Here and now as we embrace

There and then we can't erase

Life ain't about just a race

Make every moment count is base
