We all hope for a better life <br />than the one we lived before. <br />More happiness and more love <br />that we can explore <br />contentment and peace of mind <br />the things we all search for, <br />as it is hard to find. <br />Some days we seem like robots <br />walking on an endless treadmill. <br />On other days, our dreams transpire into reality. <br />Our decisions are always cloaked in darkness, <br />our thoughts unguided missiles <br />going this way and that. <br />We want a better life, <br />but it is choosing that <br />that confuses us at times. <br />If we go down the right road, <br />how do we know it is right? <br />We cannot turn back <br />until we’ve reached the very end. <br />Always hoping that at the end <br />a better life is around the bend. <br /> <br />27 May 2008<br /><br />David Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-better-life-5/
