hmm

He had lived his life
Only waiting to die.
He never took chances.
He never aimed high.
It never occurred to him
That there may be more
To this dull boring life
That held pain in the core.
He grew up knowing nothing.
He thought of life as a game
And as he reached the end
He would have no prize to claim.
One night, he'd had enough,
And he stormed out into the rain.
But for one surreal moment
He felt it wash away his pain.
He tilted his head back
And felt the raindrops graze his face.
For once he felt at peace
For he had found a sense of grace.
Never in his life
Had he thought he'd find bliss
In such a simple thing as rain--
On his cheek its gentle kiss.
He was never open-minded
Enough to hear the sound
Of the beauty of the world
And everything around
Like the sound of raindrops
Falling from the sky
That plummet to the Earth
That was once dull and dry.
He was never open-minded
Enough to see the sights
Of the beauty of the world
He never saw the different light
That shined on things of beauty
That appear to teem
With essences of peace
Which do instill such dreams
Of joy and happiness
In anyone that sees
The beauty of this world
Who has been set free
From the chains of disappointment
And believing in the worst
And following false hope
And never learning from the first.
Although it nearly took
This man's entire life
To learn this simple lesson
After many years of strife,
He took it all for granted
And started life anew.
He learned from his experiences
And spiritually, he grew.
He finally felt happy.
With love his heart was beaming.
Finally he felt
That life truly had a meaning.
