Life
Faneleka Buwa 2003 (Cape Town)
Life is a journey, we're told from our youth,
A winding road that's full of truth.
With twists and turns, and highs and lows,
We navigate the path as it goes.
We start off small, so full of wonder,
Each day a new chance to learn and ponder.
The world is vast, and we're just a part,
But we dream big and follow our heart.
As we grow older, we face more strife,
We learn about love, and loss, and life.
We make mistakes, and sometimes we fall,
But we get back up, and stand tall.
We find our way, and build our dreams,
We cherish the moments, and hold on to the seams.
Of all that we've experienced, the good and the bad,
We learn to appreciate the moments we've had.
And as we journey towards the end,
We look back on the life we've spent.
We see the joy, the love, the laughter,
And all the moments that made life matter.
So let us live our lives with grace,
Embrace each moment and each new face.
For life is a journey, a precious gift,
And we should cherish every moment of it.
