The Wheel Of Life

The kids are running and playing, carefree
Their laughter echoing, a melody on repeat,
And in their innocence, a memory so brief
The days of laughter and glee.
They are meant to live their lives,
While we are stuck in the wheel of life.
The heart-wrenching to explore,
The mind is too busy to be consoled.
And kids are teaching us the truth of life,
That it is the moment we live for,
Not the fear we die for.

Did we forget the happiness of this wheel,
The echoes of the laughter of family and friends,
The bitter cries of ones when we suffer from pain,
Or the moment when we felt love for the first time,
The loss of the ones we love,
The fear of failing once in a lifetime,
The feeling of accomplishing a small dream of mine,
The pain never goes away.
But so doesn't the memories
Let's go to the wheel of life,
Let's spin it again,
To fill it with laughter,
Or maybe sometimes pain
