Contemplate

Each day when I contemplate

The cross hanging from my chain

It is heavy on my heart

How one could suffer such

Sacrifice so much, to know it

Before that day did come

What is sacrifice to some

Is not for others

But we all must know what it is

To sacrifice, to comprehend in our way

What it means, only then can we understand

What has been sacrificed for us

We live in a materialistic world

Yet when each person knows their last day

What is it that each will regret the most?

That you didn’t stop to admire and embrace

The simple things that surround us each day?

That we weren’t there for those that matter?

That we didn’t appreciate the gift of our life?

I know to have goodness in my heart

To know and live a great love

Enjoy making every single day

Even if you ever feel your world crashing

Have faith, believe and love

We can only grow and be the best we can

With faith, belief and love

Just Me
