Whatever happens

Whatever happened to life? – I wonder
Since no time is left for living
Whatever happened to love? – I ponder
For little is there to give
Where did happiness go? – I ask
Has it fled with no regrets
Has it found itself at last
And let bygones be past?
What will be of us? – I now grope
“Be not afraid!” – I hear
That which dies last is hope
Then why do I still fear?
“Well even when you strive
Believing sets you free
Whatever happens to love and life
- And happiness – it’s here”
