Its not in your hands

You never realize the value of life
until a certain moment in time,
and everything you cherish becomes
vital to carry on

You battle the end for this is not a game
and this is when you will understand,
that human life is numbered

Every breath you take is a blessing
another day to reach out, to do your best
and help those who struggle to live

Make a difference, fill one's uncertain time
with hopes of a better tomorrow
and even after you are gone they'll remember you
with a smile

Don't embrace ill decisions or waste away
in disappointments and darkness
put your trust in God, he will pave the path

Understand, that every night when you lie down
on your bed of dreams, the beating of your silent heart
is not left in your fragile hands to keep
