Isn't it Funny the Way Life Works Sometimes?
Isn’t it funny the way life works sometimes?
The way that the people you love,
The memories you cherish,
The things you want to hold on to forever,
How quickly they can disappear
When you turn your back,
Close your eyes,
Leave for a single moment.
Isn’t it funny the way life works sometimes?
The way some people spend their entire existence
Wandering,
Stumbling,
Searching blindly for a reason to live,
Never finding it until they lie on the deathbeds.
Isn’t it funny the way life works sometimes?
The way we let
Envy,
Pride,
And foolishness
Stand in the way of the purest friendship,
The deepest love.
Isn’t it funny the way life works sometimes?
The way you can go from the highest to the lowest,
From loved to hated,
From respected to feared,
In a single day.
And yet…
Isn’t it funny the way life works sometimes?
The way our dreams come true when we least expect it,
The way a small act of kindness can bring about such
Gratitude,
Appreciation,
And hope.
Isn’t it funny the way life works sometimes?
The way every loss comes with a new birth,
The way every sorrow comes with a new joy,
The way every end comes with a new beginning.
Isn’t it funny the way life works sometimes?
