Coming Alive

COMING ALIVE

By Linda Walker

As we look back forty years ago or so

You can’t seem to tell what went on

Then you find the ugly truth

There are so many thoughts

Some are lies, you cannot tell what is right or wrong

You are so hurt and talk with pain

In negative games and thoughts

You’re just not aware at the time

You bounce from one extreme to the next

Trying to tell the truth but you’re scared

What will they think of you?

You find out they have been there too

You are so negative because it’s all you’ve been

You try to see the good

There is just a lot of bad

Time after time, you play a game or two

With the help you receive a good thought comes now and then

It’s time to live again

You fight to see the few days that start brightening your life

It takes time to see what life may bring ahead

Everyone works together

The games go away and we learn

The warmth of all your hearts return in time.

You love life more than you could have ever imagined

You wonder if it’s right

Or just another test

Then life becomes the brightest

For love comes alive
