It seems such a little word
And yet how much it means
To live, to breath, and to have our being
Is all summed up with this word.
Life
And yet how much do we know about this word
It seems so hard to know,
We say that we know and yet we do not
And so we go with hope in our hearts
That for us life will go on.
And yet with this little word
How much is hid from view
that for us all one day will surely come
When all that we love will be gone.
Life
And yes, we think that we know
But really, we do not know,
And never will ever know
the meaning behind it all.
So may we all take courage this day
and hold onto him who gave us that gift,
And then give him praise this special day,
for the gift of life and hope.
