Bring it on Life....

      A year has passed, a new one has begun. Just like the year gone by this year too will have it's fair share of hope and despair. Life will again play unfair, but we must refuse to cheat, compromise or negotiate. We will stay true to the humanity within us, refusing to bow down to convention, instead choosing to be brave, brave enough to resist the temptation to walk down the old paths of hate and destruction. Brave enough to face our mistakes and correct them. Brave enough to forgive and love again. Brave enough to question and doubt and test all our assumptions. New courses we will sail, heading to new destinations, making new friends and bringing along old ones. On a quest for a future, where no matter what life throws at us, we will always be able to find strength in ourselves and each other to stay the course, and sail on home. All hands on deck, to infinity and beyond, one day at a time.

Today is a new day and year,
What lies ahead, Nobody knows,
All of us are high on hope.

But what we know is,
Although we would wish,
For complete happiness,
A better world,
A better tommorrow,
Reality will rudely awaken us,
From our dreams,
In the morning,
It will be the same old story,
Back to the grind.

But no matter
What life throws at us,
We will take it,
And make it work for us,
If reality won't let us dream,
Then we will learn to dream,
While still awake.
