Because I live, I cannot alter the wind, but I can adjust my sails to ensure that I land safely all the time. By Poet
Because I live among humans and not angels I cherish affection in all aspects of my life We shall remain in love as long as we are alive In our world, beauty is becoming scarcer Moreover, we act as if nothing is significant Because I live, delight stems solely from love As social beings, that's just how we behave And we are here to express and bestow passion Recover cheerfully when life knocks you down Our lifestyle is absurd, but we are not insane Love, sympathy, and respect are what fuel us Wealth is essential, but it's not everything Realize that life unfolds as you're scheming Either you grasp the day or it steers you Oh, the golden radiance of the past is gone! Sacred stones are now present everywhere Our house is a beacon in the pitch-black night Our mother's voice is audible in the shadows Oh, poor kids, once worth their weight in gold They are now regarded as pottery made of clay! They are living oblivious to the lives they've changed People gave other people purpose and brightness Because I am yet alive, leaps are being made Twists and connections abound throughout Since our lives are connected, I get hollered at My influence has been recognized frequently I am, however, largely focused on my own life.

Great poem and quote Sotto - “Oh, the golden radiance of the past is gone!” So true but we have to make the best of what we’ve got, how else are we to carry on…. Belle

Hi Lasaad, of course we want to live and love and not having read this poem, I wrote what i also believe is true of all human beings, as a comment to your previous poem. HUGS AND BLESSINGS, JENNIFER.

"Love, sympathy, and respect are what fuel us Wealth is essential, but it's not everything" How I wish the world had realized this ! Since we are granted a life, we have to live it fruitfully and meaningfully ! Let us start from our life and move on to others for enhancing life in all possible ways. A very inspirational poem. All the Best my friend.

'in our world, beauty is becoming scarcer moreover, we act as if nothing is significant...' It's true, Lasaad. We seem to hurry life and make loud noises, for joy is hard to find now. Best of luck in contest
