Life Goes On

With each day passing, some could mention many things in their lives that pertain to this title. I have only mentioned a few in my book. A marriage between two people sometimes seems so right, but maybe sometimes, it's not meant to be. If for some reason your marriage doesn't work, you must not give up. You must try again because life goes on.

Maybe the marriage ended because of death, then grief and loneliness set in on that person. After the heart has mended, by the nature of us, we start looking for that happiness again as life goes on. Most of us have kids and after being a parent and feeling that love and bond, there is nothing else like it. Then they grow up and leave one day and you are so lonely you don't know what to do with yourself, but life goes on.

Then the grandkids start coming into a world of sadness, happiness, joy, and laughter. Then this old man, Paw-paw is so happy until one hour or one day they too must leave as life goes on. Paw-paw then starts looking back over his life. In his mind, he started thinking of all the bad things that has happened in his life.

Then he started thinking of all the good things that has happened to him in his lifetime. Sometimes people want to give up and just quit living. But after Paw-paw thought about his parents and grandparents and all the good things in life, he decided to wake up the next morning full of love and meet life head-on as life goes on.
