Ode to Life
by Jennie Kathryn

The time has come for the world to arise
the sun climbs toward the heavens
as we begin to open our eyes.
The time has come for life to have a chance
bringing our reality into the daylight
before our dreams take over like a trance.
Everything has a path it must follow
with a bit of guidance by the human race
without us, all life would turn to nothing
not existing, in any time, or any place.
We must follow our hearts to happiness
though the road may be paved with fear
or all that we strive for will diminish
into the emptiness we all hold so near.
It is love that keeps us together
It is love that decides
It is love that we must search for
or follow a path to our own demise.
