Valsa George Poet Couplet

Because I Live- Mr- POTD

“Who will not open a gift given with love? Life is a gift, own it, open 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 savor the beauty of living
It lies in the art of forgiving and in the joy of giving

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 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.

Sotto Poet April 15, 2023 at 8:58 AM 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.
