The beauty of life is more than just sight
it is the cry of a babe, and even our strife
Look at your hands and stretch fingers out
marvel at the force of which can be no doubt
Feel the wind as it caresses the skin
watch the sunrise with its coming again

Hear the birds as they sing their song
forgive the ones, that would do you wrong
Revere the past that gives us hope
admire the grace of antlered deer lope
Take what we have, not what we want
and build from there, never saying don’t

Inhale the tang of a salt ocean breeze
walk among the majesty of aspen trees
Play with a child, talk with the old
chase a rainbow for its pot of gold
Dream your dreams, for they may come true
to find the beauty, you have to pursue

It is too easy for bitterness to reign
when we feel lost and didn’t gain
We don’t become wise without lessons learned
nor does our strength come without being burned
For what we are is how we do
love what is there, and then you will find you.

no pain no gain.. i hope i can find myself.. this is deep.. i get what this means..
LIFE IS TOO SHORT SO LOVE THE ONE YOU GOT
CUZ YA MIGHT GET RUN OVER OR YA MIGHT GET SHOT
NEVER START STATIC I KEPT IT OFF MY CHEST
NEVER HAD TO BATTLE WITH A BULLET PROOF VEST
TAKE A SMALL EXAMPLE, A TIP FROM ME
TAKE ALL OF YOUR MONEY GIVE IT UP TO CHAIRTY
LOVES WHAT I GOT, ITS WITHIN MY REACH
AND THE SUBLIME STYLE STILL STRAIGHT FROM LONG BEACH!
IT COMES BACK TO YOU YOU BOUND TO GET WHAT YOU DESERVE, TRY AND TEST THAT, YOU BOUND TA GET SERVED! LOVES WHAT I GOT! DONT START A RIOT! YOU FEEL IT WHEN THE DANCE GETS HOT!!!!
looovVIIiinn!! IT'S WHAT I GOT!
i SED REMEMBER THAT!!!

very true and we should all adhere to this message....all of us.
Some claim to but don't and that's sad.  Thanks for the read.

Logan,
methinks we have a meeting of minds here. Excellently pened and considered.
