Thinking about life and how it has changed with the passing of time
over which we have no control and must hope that things work out fine
when they do life is good as we go along our way
but when things go bad our whole lives change even if for only a day
life’s ups and downs are a part of daily life and what we know
how we react and what we do is how our characters show
because of our different complexities and how we live this life
there is no way throughout the day there will not be strife
it may not be very big and is easily repaired
just an aggravation maybe with others shared
for as we go along this road towards an uncertain end
the only things that are for sure that we really need our friends
to help us in our times of need when we are under stress
someone to listen a shoulder to cry on they are the very best
and if we choose to go through life living on our own
that does not mean we have no friends, and we are alone
it just says about our lives we prefer our privacy
for some of us find it hard to live in close proximity
and choose to live a solo life not sharing it with others
except the friends that still are there who know our characters
I am certainly one of those and what few friends remain
know that I appreciate the fact they are the same
and grateful to them I will always be for understanding me
as I did not choose this way of life rather it chose me.
