A New Life

You could wake up to anything.
That is the fear.
The family splintered,
The bad cell gone haywire,
The wrong turn into the tree.
You can withstand these unknowns because
You are human, and you hope.
You bring this to the game:
Your fortitude and your heart.

You now see there is only love,
Built up behind your eyes,
A truth known to your innermost self.
You have nothing else,
Because you are poor,
But the heart brings you wealth.
You cannot turn back the clock.
You can only tick with the time,
And dream of better days ahead.
