The Chase

An assemblage of phrases poem

Life is hard, then you die

but don’t give up,

   don’t surrender.

shake it out

         go for it

             just add water

Like old friends

         never fade,

         ever since we met

I’ve been in the pursuit of happiness

and I’m loving it.

Don’t regret,

              it’s always darkest before the dawn

How poetic. How pathetic.

I heard your heart beating

to its own beat;

fragile, handle with care.

Lay me down,

this side up.

                                  What the water gave me:

a deep breath,

a great value,

    a change of pace.

Pain is inevitable

                                 faith is trusting for everything

                                 hope is trusting for the future

                               love is forever.
