Love Life

I’ve seen the eyes of hope in the last hour of sorrow
I’ve heard the sound of life in the last breath of death
And my mind suddenly understood what eternity means
When pain comes uninvited in hearts graced with fear

But as surely as death awaits all
Love lives past histories of failed attempts
Even passed issues of pain attacks
And catches us in that moment
When we assume all doors are locked

Yet if we live to see the days to come
Of what value would our last breath of death be
Or our last hour of sorrow
Cos if we’ve never loved then we’ve never lived!
