Finding The Pieces

By Weatherwax

We're just ordinary people,

On an ordinary day.

Trying to find the pieces,

To take the pain away.

Life is never easy,

And life is never dull.

Do we stay an empty void

Or try to make if full?

Because the choice is ours

Our lives are in our hands.

Whether we stay on our home turf

Or travel foreign lands.

When a stranger reaches for you

Do you pass the needy by?

With hands clasped tight around your purse

And steady averted eye?

Or do you see the person

The light that shines within/

And reach your heart towards that soul

To recognise your kin.

It CAN make all the difference

To how you view your life

Whether you help a stranger or

Your brother or your wife.

We'll be very special people

On a very special day

When we finally find the pieces 

To wash the pain away.
