Life

Life like the wind comes and goes with so much uncertainty, I hope I live today the dreams I had yesterday, Tommorrow I know nothing of its existence Will it come for me or not? Will it be for me or not? I have today, I will live my life in it to the fullest Life has its purpose, a reason to be lived Where can I find mine today? At what pace must I go? At what state can I rest? It is said that purpose is aim with focus, aims are reasons, reasons are objectives; all a continuous cycle I have it in me to do good, to love, to dream, to hope, to aspire, to achieve I can only do all I desire in life today with an expectation that tomorrow might be granted me to do all I cant today I have twenty four hours to live, each second as it ticks throws different challenges at me Should I quit? Should I run away? Should I let it all rest to fate? should I resist the inclination to live and not just exist as another face on planet earth? Then, to myself and life I will not be fair. Life I dare to say is here for man to be lived.

Living life is a must my friend! The Master would not have it any other way. Let your light shine as a beacon unto all people. This is an inspiring piece. I really like the ending lines. Great job! ~Joseph

Dalung - It is up to each of us to decide what life's true treasures are - These feelings often change with the hands of time for experiences change the way we view things - This is a great poem for it makes one ponder their own life and what is important to them - For me its getting closer to the Lord and stronger for my family - God Bless

Lots of valid points in this poem. Made me think a lot about my own life, as most good writing should do. Hopefully, I won't waste the rest of my day off and do something worthwhile.
