The Beauty of Life

The beauty of life An ethereal thing One minute here The next gone Tears flow hearts grieve Each and everyone. The beauty of life Lost on some Do they ever deserve it To waste a life To take a life Others to just observe it. The beauty of life is to live it Each and every day The beauty that can be found in it Like a banquet on display To many good things to choose We cannot fit it all in To wastes life’s opportunity Surely is a sin. © Mandy Tams 12/08/2014

Spoken like the lovely poet you are Mandy. Poet's see the beauty in life and become inspired enough to write about it.
