Settlement
We fall in love.
We settle down.
Build a suitable home
Start a live … in a suitable town.
Meet the neighbours.
Find a job.
Go to work by car.
Buy what we want … at a suitable shop.
We should ask ourselves the question:
Do we live or just survive?
Count our blessings 'stead of assets.
Pursue a truly happy life.
Five or seven out of seven.
Daily routine, ongoing strive.
Say our prayers to God in heaven
to earn a so called … better life.
When in fact all that we do,
is merely lying to ourselves.
As the dreams we held so closely,
lie crumbling on some … dusty shelf.
We should ask ourselves the question:
Do we live or just survive?
Count our blessings 'stead of assets.
Pursue a truly happy life.
We fall in love.
We settle down.
Build a suitable home
Start a live … in a suitable town.
All it takes is one deep breath
to pick a dream up from the shelf,
blow off the dusty layers;
settle down to our true … inner selves.
We should ask ourselves the question:
Do we live or just survive?
Count our blessings 'stead of assets.
Pursue a truly happy life.
