God’s Children

We struggle for a life that fades
Smiling to fight off the death to come
Even joy is temporary as we are
But happiness is at least given to some

Writers write for fame they’ll never see
Singers sing for praise that is never enough
Actors spend a lifetime running from themselves
And everyone else works for greed or love

God watches the light of our smiles
The life in our eyes breaks His heart
For He knows His precious children
We’re damned from the very start
