Life

Life is a mystery
Live to create history
Today you are born
Tomorrow you are gone

With all that life has to offer
Do not choose to suffer
Take what it gives and make use
Do not worry about the views

Give life your all
Get up even when you fall
Live as if there is no tomorrow
Forget about the sorrow

Life is lived once
Creating memories with loved ones
Life cannot be postponed
Its pleasures not foregone

Sometimes there are storms
that make you stumble on stones
The sun will still rise and set
choose to live and forget

when it sets you atop
It doesn’t mean you should stop
Other times it will take you down the hill
leaving you unfulfilled 
 
Even in the deepest valley
You will see a silver lining
They say life is fickle
I say let’s make it simple

It comes with no manual
but you can make it memorable
Life is for the living
Make it worth living
