A price to pay

To imagine the sunrays falling upon my face
The silence of a peaceful morning
calm wind blowing through the window
and to realize the worth of living this life of onetime
It has certainly a price to pay.

Those tears of dear ones, a sense of helplessness
to fight back the emotions which remain held
so close to heart, tears apart with an unknown pain.
To let go of the most precious, the howling soul
has always got a price to pay.

I know who I am yet,
I know not who you are, and time seems an eternity
to complete an assessment of a lifetime;
I try to peek at my conscience, and smile
for there is always a price to pay.

How I wish, to capture all those beautiful memories -
moments of crying eyes with laughter
A genuine smile with a feel of being blessed
with an amazing gift - called 'life'
I certainly do have a price to pay.
