Life through my eyes.
Some Irony in Life:

How ironic this life can be:
Flowers for a new born baby
That they can't even see.
Flowers for a coffin or is it for the ground?
I'm sure that persons' soul is standing astound.

How ironic is life to me:
Believing in not holding back and giving my all,
What a great recipe for a very big fall.
Is this a gift or maybe my curse?
Wait, let me try another verse.

How much irony is in one day:
Waking up every morning just to sleep again tonight.
Isn't there something missing when we turn off the light?
How many strangers do you neglect to greet?
Just because you are scared of who you might meet.

How much irony is in the word okay:
When you ask someone, how are they doing and how they have been
Just listen how quickly and easily the word "okay" intervene.
When you ask someone politely to assist in something you need to do,
"With pleasure" or "Yes" is out of the question with "okay" sneaking through.

So next time you buy flowers and you might hesitate to say,
At least make sure you give the flowers before they go away.
And next time when asking how someone has been doing today,
Don't just settle for the word "okay"...
