Life

I laugh I cry,
i dream, i try.
i hope, i pray i get another day.
i love, its as white as a dove.
i go left, when im suppose to go right.
i make mistakes, sometimes i get misplaced.
i get torn down, watch as pieces get picked up all around.
i sometimes cry, ask why.
I'll live, then there will be a day that i will die.
My place will be taken with such an innocent face.
It will make many mistakes, but life goes on,
all that will be left is my trace

Enjoyed reading this one. . . had to check it out as I too wrote a piece called "Life". It was interesting to read the differing viewpoint. Thank you, well done.
