Staying tuned

In a rush that keeps you alive
you pursue - jobs, family, and aims
Youth and energy make you strive
to stake all your claims

Days chase each other with revenge
time dawns on you when you see
the world around you change 
dipping in sorrow and glee

In this race you hang on 
form bonds and attachments
twirling in this crazy spin
kindred spirits in a firmament

New events and turns
make life happen along
You're swept aside strange shores
But in your world you always belong

You can reach out and grasp
the hands whenever you need
Friendship is the firmest clasp
in our struggles to succeed.
