Gary Bateman Poet Couplet

Notes About The Poem

Author's Notes: This couplet on "Cherish Your Life Always" has a very compelling message for the reader. I touch on the notion that each of us in our respective lives are endowed with a "god-given purpose and self." The question I pose concerns how each of us choose to seek and desire to find "our true purpose and self." This one is an aspirational poem that I truly enjoyed contemplating and writing during November of 2018.  (Gary Bateman - April 28, 2020) (Couplet)                                                                                                                          

Cherish Your Life Always

Cherish Your Life Always
 
Cherish your life and never the strife,
as you face with grace all you must do.

This may be challenging at times for sure,
yet it is part of who we are in this life’s run.

Life is God’s gift to all of us no doubt,
as we each seek to find ourselves in life. 

Each and every one of us in our lives are 
gifted with a God-given purpose and self.

It is just a question of how each of us seek
and desire to find our true purpose and self.

Tintinnabulation is an incredibly unique word
for sounding all of what we feel and hear aloud.

This celebrated jingling of metaphoric bells
announces our purpose, passion, and feelings.

The “always” part of the formative four-word title
above speaks to the magic of life to be cherished.

Without our aspirations, our musings, our thoughts, 
then who the hell are we in this life and hope to be?

I believe now that Almighty God already knows this
this question, do we? Answers shall come later. Amen.
