Life must go on

A smile that was engraved with a million words

The laughter that filled the soul

The passion that boiled the blood

The warmth that kept the spirit alive

And time that passed so fast

The hope that evaporated like the morning dew

The pain that pierced the heart

The sorrow that killed the spirit

The anger that drained the passion

The chapter that ended prematurely

The book that was never written

The life that was shaken but refused to shrivel

The new chapter that holds promise

The promise that life must go on

The life that looks beyond a sorrowful heart

The life that has more meaning and fulfilment
