How Do You Show Appreciation

How Do You Show Appreciation For Life?

How do you show appreciation for life?
Do you smoke till you choke?
Do you hook up and get shook up by the STD’s that come up?
Do you drink till you sink?
Do you lie to get by?
Are you killing your parents your caregiver, you comforter deep down
inside?
Are you mesmerized by violent, bloody, nasty, M rated games to where
your mind is just not the same?
Or are you gluttonous to the point where there‘s nothing left for the rest of
us?
As you take your spit covered finger and wipe it across the plate.
That’s no way to show appreciation for the life god gave.
Rather, love god as your life giver, love your neighbor as yourself, and love
thyself and put those harmful practices up on the shelf.
Cherish your life the most precious thing while you have it because you
never know when the unexpected will grab it.
