What is Life

What is life without something to live for,
something to look forward to,something 
to hold unto,something to believe in......

What is life without a little love a little
hate,a little failure a little great,a little
happy a little sad,a little calm a little mad...

What is life without a woman without a man,
without a future without a plan,without a 
foundation on which to stand,without the
knowledge to understand......

This is the situation,
What is life without a vision,
What is life without a mission,
Be wise,our next generation,
Don't bow to earth temptations,
Pray to the Almighty,He will help
you to make the right decisions.......

    Richard, very true that's why He sent His only Eternal Son to testify to Him because Eternal Father wanted to destroy the world because the people He created are sinning but Eternal Son stopped Him. The story is on my poem, take care...

    Your verses my earth temptation would be. Do you have taking too much baggages as faith. Search your thoughts by haplines do our more

    This is so true Richard. If we don't have all these things - we don't have nothing and there is no purpose in living. If we didn't have problems - life would be boring. U.R right. We have to pray and be close to God. Lucilla

    a little of everything makes life,life,but we just have to be careful where we want to go and how much are we willing to loose in the process,thanks much Lucilla
