I wonder what keeps me up all night
Pondering over my creation
The hardships that I have been through
And that I face each and everyday
Life choices that I have made
In search of life and light

I feel a beginner once again
Every time I closely see any pain
But what keeps me going
Is a slight ray of hope
A twinkling star in the night sky

I wonder how life changes
How things and people around us change
And still we have to keep moving
Witnessing loss of loved ones
And yet we continue to live
Thinking that it is what our loved ones wanted

Sometimes I feel sad
But what keeps me going
Is an inner voice
Which I think is a pull from family and friends
Whom we love and miss the most
