Life is very hard with all it's challenges And puzzle pieces that never seem to fit together Often we miss the true meaning of life Time flies by so quickly, because we think we have forever Take a moment out of your day Really be grateful for what you've got Because I'm willing to bet all I have There's someone who would die to have your spot Everyday I learn something about this thing we call life I am not perfect, and neither are you But perhaps we can learn from our mistakes and each other And make our time count, by the things we do Life is a never ending cycle Full of things to make you laugh and cry Tommorrow is not promised and yesterday is gone So let's not let life pass us by This world can be lonely and cold But it can be beautiful and make you sigh Don't believe me? Well next time a baby is born, look at the tears in its eye Everything has a purpose and a plan Many things we don't understand But God wanted it to be this way And when it's your time to go....believe, and he will take your hand "Don't be dismayed at goodbyes. A farewell is before you can meet again. And meeting again after a moment or a lifetime is certain for those who are friends." "Fate exists but it can only take you so far, Because once you're there It's up to you to make it happen." |

Amy* I loved this, I'm printing it as soon as I'm done replying I hadn't thought to much about life in general and making the most of it until I met Shane and his family, one visit to the children's ward of any hospital will make you thank your lucky stars for the life you have...and what I found so amazing is that the parent's there are not "why God" most of the time, they are only thankful for one more moment with the one they love. Thank you for this post and thank you for being you sweet poet! **Angel Wing Hugs** |
