Loving Life

If we are willing to learn, life is willing to teach If we are willing to listen, the sounds of life will reach If you are willing to receive, life has much to give Take what life gives, make the best of it, and live Sometimes, bad things come to good people, like a bitter pill When trials come, please do not stress; don't be hasty: be still We do not always know what life will bring or share We do know that others care, and will help us bare We have peaks and valleys; there are some tricks; but there are more treats Life is sometimes cold and bitter; but more often, it is warm and sweet There is a little of the bad, sad, and ugly; but life is really mostly good Life can’t be all good, because we don’t always do the things we should Ignore the promises of the “quick fix”; it takes time for wounds to heal Don’t seek the “get rich quickies”; such likes are usually schemes and tricky So, slow it down a notch or two, watch a sunset; inhale the good life It’s staring you in the face, offering opportunities and grace Take some time off; take a break; get away; and take a walk along the beach Take a trip, but not on a plane; relax and take it easy on a slow moving train Turn off alarm clock; don’t answer the phone too quickly; smell the flowers Live and love your life; pick a rose, or maybe two; share them with someone you love 100507 PS Christy Teas' Contest, Create Life
