Life shall go on because it must,
And we will wake to greet the day,
We will be strong because we must,
Despair stands not in time's fixed way.
We'll laugh again because we must,
And pleasures still shall be enjoyed,
We'll mourn our friends because we must,
For this as well, we can't avoid.
But life goes on because it must,
Despite our thinking it must end,
And it will go on after us,
When those who mourn us start again.
Written by: Larry Sansone. In order to hone my writing skills (and for my own silly amusement) I am launching the O.C.P. Project: one poem per day for one year. I started the project on Jan.1, 2011 and completed the last poem on Jan. 1, 2012. Poems will be posted daily, whenever possible.
