Thus I Wrote

When I consider my few notes
In the great symphony of life
I wonder why they float
Blind to death and strife?
All my thresholds crossed
Will they be in vain?
Will all my memories be lost,
Like tears in the rain?

When fortune smiled on me
I was chosen to give
My talent to society
And make it a better place to live
Those memories stand out most
When I was in the fast lane
Will all those memories be lost,
Like tears in the rain?

In love I’ve had chances
And I’ve had losses as well
The heaven of romances
And heartache driven hell
My first kiss is nothing to boast
But oh.. to do it again
Will all my memories be lost,
Like tears in the rain?

In the quieter times
I could find no part to play
I worked hard to find
A new way to rejoin the fray
It was time to pay the cost
Of great memories with some pain
But will all those memories be lost,
Like tears in the rain?

There is no clear rhyme
Or reason for life
Is “revel in your time”
The best life advice?
Will I count the cost,
Of not giving everything in my reign?
But will all my memories be lost,
Like tears in the rain?
