everytime

everytime the ocean touches the shore
it takes a little back with it
a grain of sand and of stone
it gives a little back too
of shells, and of salt.

everytime spring arrives
it takes winter with it
the chill and cold months
it breathes of brighter things
nature returns with new life.

everytime the sun sets
it takes back the day
ending all pligths and woes
it gives back new possibilities
of a brighter tomorrow.

everytime someone enters your life
they take a little from you
a moment in time, a memory
they give back a little too
moments in time, memories.

everytime you feel your heart hurt
it takes away your will and strength
your hope, your passion, your conviction
it gives back little to wish for
and you have little to wish for.
