To discover what’s real but has no name.
Why do some illusions bring false hope and only shame?
Why accept a life and what it can bring,
If it’s full of nightmares on which one has to cling?

Failures being kept in the shadows out of sight
But failures should be used as beacons shining light
Science is full of failures but then look at what’s been achieved.
If failure kills imagination what could possibly be conceived?

To discover what’s in yourself and who you might be.
What you might become if you could set yourself free.
Is that possible or one of those dreams that never come true?
To discover what is actual truth and to find the real you

If I were to compare the things that I’ve done right

To the things where I’ve failed

Then the failures would come out on top.

But there has been more I’ve attempted when the chances arose

Than those, I ignored and did not.



To look back, to assess, to judge what was I

Is an impossible task to attempt.

As decisions were based on only what I knew

Not prejudiced by future contempt.



To have assessed the future with only that present eye

Demanded wisdom beyond my grasp,

But I tell you truly as I stand here today

It would still be to my heart that I would I clasp.

To not live alone and be apart

To welcome love and share a heart

To take a blow without complaint

To offer peace without constraint.



To be pure when morals scream

To only see the beauty in all you dream

To show compassion to those in need

To be content with no thought of greed.



To wish for nothing and ask for less

To live a life without duress

To offer silence in a raging storm

To be yourself and not conform.



To accept the pitfalls along your path

To smile and always be willing to laugh

To see the good where others see bad

To be happy and never be sad.



To be complete with love to spare

To live in colour where nothing’s bare

To encourage and abide

To be humble and not full of pride.



To wish that fear could always abate

To offer friendship and speak no hate

To stand straight and strong beside the weak

To give the innocent a chance to speak.



Perhaps these words come from misty-eyes

And most of the things have been tried

But sentiment or not I know this much is true

My wishes for a future are better than that I now view.
