Beautiful Life

To do each day a golden deed
Playing a truce to every need
What is life if fades like weed
My life on earth is but a span
Just want to do the best i can

In face of odds and income low
To daily feed a gold passing through fire
The only life that will endure
is one thats kind good and pure

Too much riches I crave not for
Let me have that people mock not my God
A few more days and I must go
To meet the deeds that I have done

Of what good are riches
when greed and hatred lurks around
A wasteful life is witholding from those in need
our whole life all but vanity
A beautiful life is all I crave for

While going down life's weary road
I'll try to lift some travellers load
I'll try to help a dying soul
make flowers bloom along the way

A beautiful life a perfect one
one conseals not evil
Two does good to every man
Three embraces morals shuns violence
For only love constraineth us all.

Today's WoWword ?#?Love?. thats the only way forward embrace it.

Kehinde Oluwaseun, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
