Because I Live- Mr- POTD

“Who will not open a gift given with love? Life is a gift, own it and treasure it.” _ By Poet God has breathed life into me, and I live. To make this life as fruitful as I can, I shall strive. Life is a blessing, a treasure to cherish I should make it a celebration with every moment to relish Though life is one of ups and downs with sorrows rife, With perseverance, I shall try to overcome every strife. Life is a precious gift we can never forsake. It is a journey uphill, we must all undertake. Though life is a roller coaster ride with twists and turns There is so much in life, each one ardently yearns Even amid struggles, one can enjoy the beauty of living It lies in the art of forgiving and in the joy of giving Also in learning new things, in aiming at new heights In relishing new scenes and in savoring new delights Every day I take a new step, a new chance, To improve the quality of my life, its worth enhance. With a beacon of warmth and a touch of grace, We can light up lives and bring a smile on many a face. I wish I could fulfill my purpose, to light up the dark To make a difference in some lives and to leave a mark. As long as I live, I should see the power within, To love, to learn, to grow, to strive and to win. April.12.2023 Because I Live Poetry Contest Sponsor- Mystic Rose Rose

You have a way with words, Valsa; your poetry is beautiful, and it was chosen as POTD; However, the jury should be more fair and honest in their deliberations so that you don't wind up in last place, especially as mine wasn't even taken into account. My sincere felicitations, my friend, on the creation of such an outstanding piece of art.
