To live,
Is to look at the scenery,
To live,
Is to feel stillness,

The rooms are empty,
The dust is settled,
The memories
Forgotten,

To live,
Is to smile when it feels right,
To live,
Is to look for happiness

The swing set has been taken down,
The pool is empty,
My posters are off the wall,

To live,
Is to believe in what you want,
To live,
Is to never let go,

The shadows have been unmoved,
The darkness has not been awaken,
The floorboard has not been stepped on,

To live,
Is to love,
To live,
Is to find meaning,

I have no where to turn,
All that I have held on too is gone,
Now the only thing I can live by is the echoes
Of my life,

I come to where and grew up,
And I know one thing for sure,
That in these ninety years of life,
I can say one thing for certain…

I lived…
I really lived…
