Life

I stand on the sidewalk
And gaze at the moon
16 years have come and gone
All too soon,

I may not be a wise man
But I do know this -
The more knowledge you gain
The less you feel bliss

And a life without love
Is no life at all
And our day shall come
Someday we all fall

For only three years
Have I been called teen
But this I must ponder
What do our lives mean?

Perhaps it means everything
Or its meaning has none
But sooner than we realize
It is over and done

I believe when the teen years are gone
It will then become clear
What my purpose is
And why I am here

My mind and body stay
But my sould will wander
And when it returns
I will be here no longer
