C'est la vie

[mark alba escobar]

Such is life

Sadness afflicts us
and sorrow brings us back
to capture the mem’ries of the past
Such a call, such is life.

It’s difficult to accept,
It’s a struggle to keep
with mem’ries that haunt us
to reminisce and believe.

Greet the day with hope
have a cheerful look
and turn over a new leaf
to welcome a new spirit.

A growing sense of optimism
draws us to keep alive.
the expressions of human relations
that link us to uphold.

It’s a process though,
Enabling us to realize
that gift of life God has given us
to keep going and be glad.

Now that another chapter begins,
we overcome our fear
and take the challenge to win
over odds and lachrymose things.
