Life

Life like the wind comes and goes with so much uncertainty,
I hope I live today the dreams I had yesterday,
Tommorrow I know nothing of its existence
Will it come for me or not?
Will it be for me or not?
I have today, I will live my life in it to the fullest

Life has its purpose, a reason to be lived
Where can I find mine today?
At what pace must I go?
At what state can I rest?
It is said that  purpose is aim with focus, aims are reasons, reasons are objectives; all a 
continuous cycle

I have it in me to do good, to love, to dream, to hope, to aspire, to achieve
I can only do all I desire in life today with an expectation that tomorrow might be granted 
me to do all I cant today

I have twenty four hours to live, each second as it ticks throws different challenges at me
Should I quit?
Should I run away?
Should I let it all rest  to fate?
should I resist the inclination to live and not just exist as another face on planet earth?
Then, to myself and life I will not be fair.

Life I dare to say is here for man  to be lived.

Living life is a must my friend! The Master would not have it any other way. Let your light shine as a beacon unto all people. This is an inspiring piece. I really like the ending lines. Great job! ~Joseph

Dalung - It is up to each of us to decide what life's true treasures are - These feelings often change with the hands of time for experiences change the way we view things - This is a great poem for it makes one ponder their own life and what is important to them - For me its getting closer to the Lord and stronger for my family - God Bless

Lots of valid points in this poem. Made me think a lot about my own life, as most good writing should do. Hopefully, I won't waste the rest of my day off and do something worthwhile.
