TO LIVE ...

It shouldn't really matter,
half empty, half full,
but rather to work,
at making it whole.

To live is to see light,
in all that is dark.
To find peace amongst the silence.
To love a broken heart.

To see the truth,
behind a lie.
To savor life,
not just let it pass by.

To learn the reason,
behind a tear,
instead of just worrying,
about wiping it clear.

To give a smile,
to those who are sad.
To laugh a little,
before you get too mad.

To stop and think,
before you begin.
To lose a couple,
before you win.

Rain or shine,
hugs 'n kisses or burns,
slow down sometimes,
enjoy life's twists and turns.

Find Completeness.
Give it your best try.
Be open and forgiving.
Live before you die!


LOVE ELMO

"When you came into this world everyone around you was smiling and you were crying. Live life so that when you leave this world everyone is crying and you are the one smiling!!"

A very well done poem.  Form, flow and message speak together like a choir.

The statement at the bottom falls in the same lines as my signature    Only with a different way of looking at it.

We are born into this world alone, and we will die alone.  It is what we do between those times that matters.  This is where we leave our mark.
