Life Goes On
\nby cricketjeff on February 22, 2011.\u00a0 \u00a9 Jeff Green, All rights reserved
\nWhen tragedy attacks you and you know that all is lost
\nThere’s nothing that can tell you that the prize is worth the cost
\nBut though you know it’s over that tomorrow’s hope has gone
\nThe Moon and stars keep shining, life goes on.<\/p>\n
She’s left you for another and you cannot see the point
\nThe path you’d thought to follow’s overgrown and out of joint
\nYou feel less fine and noble than the saddest dying swan
\nBut birds still sing their chorus, life goes on.<\/p>\n
You hear the strains of music that she used to hum along
\nBut the rhythm’s out of kilter and the harmony is wrong
\nThere’s shadows in your daydreams where the summer sun once shone
\nBut cornflowers wave at poppies, life goes on.<\/p>\n
Some day you’ll feel a tickle as the melancholy breaks
\nA smile may find your mojo as the man you once were wakes
\nShe’ll never be forgotten but you’ve reached a rapprochement
\nIt’s time to find new answers, life goes on.<\/p>\n
