All your life people will come and go

like leafs in the wind on a fall day

they will drift away.

It may feel unfair

like a foul-play

but you will live

to see another day.

Each person services a purpose

like a song's steady tempo

they create the beat

your dancing to

making life feel

less blue.

They build you up

like a construction team

and see you at your highest

They fix you up

like the repair guy

and wipe away your tears

Then they tear you down

like a demolition team

and make you feel broken

once they are no longer there.

All your life people will come and go

teaching lessons

like a textbook

page by page

leaving you thankful

and sorrowful

for the knowledge and pain
