A reason to live
by marich7

Joy and happiness can’t begin to explain,
Or comprehend the way I feel,
I have no idea how to describe this,
So I’ll just call it my reason to live.

We walk through life aimlessly,
With little guidance or instruction,
“A reason to live”, what a mystery,
A bravura tale of seduction.

Stepping out there faithfully,
Though our efforts prove us naive,
But then you meet her and miraculously,
A reason to live seems easier to achieve.

At last I have found her,
I’ve given all my heart has to give,
I lean forward and whisper in her ear,
“You’re my reason to live”

We kiss and for a moment I forget...
…My pain...
…. My sorrow and despair…
…And I cast aside all my fear...
…All for a reason to live.
