Words are what we use to express, to describe, to tell stories about, to label and to give some meaning to our lives. We use them to communicate with others and as a way of trying to understand one another. Some find words hard to say, some can't even speak, some are forced to use other means of communication other than words to say what they want to say. Some sing, some rap and some rhyme..some say a lot and it means nothing, other can use a few words and say a lot more.

 

 

SOME PEOPLE

Some people make good mothers, some make good dads, some people work hard for money, some not at all, some work for love. Some people are old, some people are young, some people seem relatively boring, some much more fun. Some believe in God or what they think God to be, some believe in nothing unless the eye can see. Some have riches, some just enough to survive, some not enough to stay alive. Some people are happy, some are sad, some what we label as bad. Some see the good and try to make the world a better place, some just don’t care how they run this race. Some eat too much, others not enough. Some drink to ease the pain or take other drugs that do the same. Some stick to all the rules, other breaks them, some bend. Some take life seriously, to others it's just a game. There is one fact when if compare one another in this world, not one of us is the same... by Essence

ALL IN LOVE, ALL JUST PASSING TIME

Real love makes you feel warm and safe inside,
It’s when you know there’s nothing to hide.
Don’t hold back your feelings and think it can’t be,
Believe it, and set yourself free

When a moment happens in your life,
that feels perfect in every way,
Think positively and say the words you need to say
Don’t doubt the power of the words in your head
Green is green, gold is gold and red is red.

The more you believe love can happen it will
You can’t find it in a book, a drink or a pill
Search for it deep inside and it will come to you
It’s a journey to a place worth getting to

Try to avoid the things that are not better for you
And remember there is always sadness too,
Hold on to what makes you feel good
Treat others like you know you should
No matter what they say
This is the better way

So much of this world highlights badness and pain
People living under clouds with no rain
Their water of life is not flowing
Living without love and without knowing

To know your self is to love and understand
We can all sing and play in the same band
A band that creates harmonies and beautiful waves
All dancing to the rhythm, listening to the same rhyme
All in love, all just passing time

THE LIFE TRAIN

Riding on the train of life is a journey of many stops, a few bends, views of different kinds and dark tunnels. Tickets have to be paid for to keep going wherever you choose to go on your journey, you might get the occasional free ride but they are few and far between so enjoy them! The seats on the train are all made the same size, but all shapes and sizes are expected to sit on them. You can relax on these journeys, think, write, talk, stand or sit as someone else is driving the train, but you can’t get off until you come to your stop or you will not reach your destination in the way you intended or maybe not at all. There are risks and hazards at every turn but if you want to get where you are going then you must still get on the train, make the journey and take a chance. Life is a like a train journey, be thankful you have the train to take you where you are going and be thankful when you get there. People will come and go along the way, some will pass you by on the other side of the track, and some will stay for a while then change trains. Finally, there are the ones that will always be there at the end of the line.
