Poem
it seems in just the twinkling of an eye life passes by and one's left at the brink with time to think before the fall into the great abyss where did time go? For some, life is short for others, long But the years don't count Nor do the hours It's the moments which capture eternity You can live a lifetime in a moment and face death happy and proud for eternity has been tasted and lived Cowardice kills Bravery lives Be brave enough to follow your dreams Don't settle for second best Mediocrity weighs you down numbs and suffocates Cling to your passion Blaze in its flame be honest with your soul in that bid to be whole... BE HONEST WITH YOUR SOUL! When you deny your soul you start to die Above all.... LOVE with PASSION as if this were the last time your lips were to taste desire's embrace or eyes were to see that blessed face Don't make haste LIVE Love Love is the sum total of life if you have loved you have lived... and if you have truly lived love's life you can die content for eternity has been yours for a moment in time Jade Celeste I recently showed some photos to my class of a young man in his twenties who lost his battle with Cystic Fibrosis. His sister is my daughter's age, and once when she visited Cyprus, I took her and my daughter and another friend out. She loved me and added me on Facebook. I've followed her brother's journey with avid interest and pain. Her younger brother has cystic fibrosis as well, and her husband has it. He recently had a lung transplant...and for a time, Hannah didn't know if he would make it to the wedding. So much pain in her life. I've recently shared on FB at her request, a site where people can make donations to raise awareness about Cystic Fibrosis. My heart aches for her in her time of mourning. We complain about insignificant things, when all Ben wanted was to be able to breathe free and LIVE!!! What is life? The Bible says that it's like a flower...here today and gone tomorrow. We complain...about so many things...not realizing that every day we live is a gift that's not guaranteed to many. We need to cherish those who matter. Live life to the full. Find and grasp happiness. LIVE LOVE....LOVE! :) That's the sum total of life.
