A cry in the night with a startled awakening
A cold sweat and an uncontrolled shakening
Worried of a cherished loved one
Fears of their health and what is to come
We think the worst but prey for the best
But our misgivings make us a pititful mess
It is what makes us human ...could be much worse
This humanity which is both a blessing and curse
Gives us stress and changes our course
Confuses our mind like an unknown force
But gives us caring and the ability to love
Fond memories strived for and won
It is what makes us human...could be much worse
The ability to care and worry are both a blessing and curse
Any yet it is what it is and most of us
Would have it no other way
The good with the bad
The happy with the sad
It is peoples range of feelings that
Makes life both horrible and fantastic
The alternative is a clinical anestetic option
With no feelings that would simply leave us numb
It is what makes the good times great
and awesome by comparison
So grab life with a vengeance and
Do your best to help others, knowing
There are valleys of darkness between the peaks of bright
Weather the storms but live for...... the sunlight
