Eternity

Sleep comes hard
And so does peace
Will struggle and grief ever cease?
I feel the need to increase
But no need for another to decrease
Why can't we all rise?
My eyes tell a story
A story of heartache and pain
A story of dreams forgotten
And stars that never made it to the sky
A story of being afraid of live
But not afraid to die
I'm too tired to cry
To weary to try
What do I do?
All I want is to be happy.
This sounds strange but through
All this I'm still blessed
Family and a love
A beautiful daughter from above
To better myself is what needs to be done
Then I will truly feel that I have won
Right now it's hard to
Explain how I feel
Loved but yet still hated
Sinning but still a Christian,
A liar but sill honest,
Hard worker but still lazy
Sane but still crazy
Rich but poor
Cursed but blessed
Dying but very much alive
Happy, yet sad
Good mood, but get mad
All alone, but surrounded by people
A failure with a bright future.
I'm too complex to figure out
No doubt I'm a designers original
The designer, God
I think way too much
But a legacy I am
And a legacy I will leave
Every breath I breathe, I want
To breathe it for God
That's my only hope
That's your only hope
Some don't believe and call
Me stupid, but as you can see
I am wise beyond my years
I can see beyond my tears
And I can ask God to wash
Away my tears
There is a God
There is a heaven
And my goal is to live my life
On earth like I'm trying to get there.
I don't care what you think
Or anyone else
Because if there is a heaven
Surely there must be a hell
Rich on earth but there is
Nothing you can sell to buy
Your way out of death
So I'm going to try to take
My advice
Love God
Love life
Love my family
And enjoy my time on this earth
But never forget time runs out
You don't know your day or hour
Or minute or even the second
When you will be gone
So please God don't let me
Live for today,
Let me live for eternity.
