Life, I can no more honor thee Than by living you to fullest extent Wasting not an hour, a minute, a second Of time ever wished was never spent When I see all the new things you bring, Coming with the wind as you breathe Granting me a respite from myself, A promise of stillness in its shameful serenity And at times, out of most unawares, You come bearing ample baskets of joy Near brimming with thou fruits of labor, Just when such feasts need be employed Though there are times, dear and fragile Life, When misfortunate weight tips the scales A tasking trial for one so small to bear, I know thy grace shall be given without fail For ever and always you will surely be, A beacon of light, a force, and vengeful rod To be felt by the highest and the low, You, Life, are most importantly, God I cannot begin to approach thy face, For I will, from my soul, certainly bleed Yet I welcome thy chameleon aspect, Life, I can no more honor thee |

You all are so nice for even just reading my new poem. Then staying up late last night was not in vain. *S* thank you |
