After all is said and done.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

I will carry on, without the fun.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Life can be a tragedy.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Or, it can be happy and free.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

It was happy once upon a time.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

You were more than a friend of mine.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Now that it\u2019s all said and done.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

I think back on all the fun.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Those were happy times back then.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Back when you were more than a friend.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

The past is just a good bye now.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Today is all that has survived, somehow.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Tomorrow is full of surprises.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

What I do with them is my devices.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Be it good or be it bad.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Lessons from the past will help this lad.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

I will approach tomorrow with hope.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

And the knowledge that I can cope.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Make the most of what is to come.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Maybe get back to having fun.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Always look forward to the best.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Put all the past to rest.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Life is what you make it to be.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Even a life without you and me.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Upward and onward to infinity.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

A life of happiness to set\u00a0me free.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n
