tryin' ta' live
'till i die

tryin' to laugh
'till i cry

don't know why
just wait
for each day to go bye
before the heavely gate

i'll know then
it's too late
i'll know when
i'm at heaven's gate

but i'd just as soon
wait
for another full moon
to know it' that date

now
somehow
i'll live 'till i die
won't ask how or why
but i'll try
to get by

each & every day
to be thankfull anyway

tryin' ta' live
livin' to die
give what i give
and don't live a lie

just waitin' to die

Tis funny, when we want to die for whatever reason, we seem to outlive everyone else...we have an aunt like that, she wants to die, she is in her upper 80s, but the more she wants it the more healthy she seems to become...A neat write, Steve, you have such a gift, different, but a great gift...Peace thru Words, Ed & Rufuz

Hi Steve:

Waiting to die is harder than
going on living;
for you might have to wait for
a long long time.

~ Sandie Angel a.k.a. May Lu ~

Explains the realizations that have given the author the views of living life fully. The life each person dreams about. You must take a look at yourself before dreams can be reached. Deciding what is the core of belief.

Future: The Spiritual Story of Humanity by Glenn Martin

Histories of the world are generally written to either celebrate technology and science, or to herald doom. My book examines the path of the spirit in the onward rush.
