I’LL START THE LIVING…for my friend Renee

I’LL START THE LIVING

 

There are things

In this life

That give me hope

That gives me strife

It’s not for me

Or you to say

Will there be good

Or bad today

I open my eyes

I’m ahead of the game

Now hear your voice

Call out my name

I take these moments

These little things

I wear them like

Big diamond rings

My smile now pure

And full of truth

I take a deep breath

I fill with youth

I must take

What I am given

I’ll stop the dying

I’ll start the living

 

-Peace
