We All Fall
by Mel Vernon
we all fall sometime in our lives.
we hold on just to keep on standing
a slong as we can, as long as we can,
every child, woman, and man.
we all get just one day at a time,
make it yours or make it mine.
there is only one sun in the sky,
let it shine, let it shine
on your face and mine.
your mind is a boat in the ocean of thought,
twisting a thread to the end is a knot.
you thought: what it is, but it is not.
the wind blows, the wind blows,
like leaves we move wherever it goes.
we ride the wave together, we flow,
holdingo n and never letting go,
holding on and never letting go.
