A Life

 

From the day you are born

On the first day you cry

To the safe place you sleep

In the cot where you lie

On that first day at school

Where you struggle and try

From the first girl you kiss

To the way you feel shy

From your very first job

To the company tie

On the day that we met

To that very first sigh

On that day that you left

To the first question Why?

From the depths of despair

To a blue summer sky

In a precious new love

From a heartfelt goodbye

On the way that you let

All the days pass you by

On feeling all of this

To the day that you die

Just a life summarised

In a sweet lullaby

On a harsh granite stone

In the blink of an eye
