Life

The mysterious side of life pulls me,
wholeheartedly fascinates, like the sea.
From the mystical conception of life
through the lifetime and then the afterlife.

I am in complete awe how life unfolds
and what life brings to contemplate, behold.
Each of us is unique, but we all need
love, care, attention, support to succeed.

Life can be easy for some people or
tough for some, but with courage could still soar. 
People who are truly loved acquire, gain
inner strength to go through crisis, grief, pain.

No matter how difficult, life goes on. 
The love in our heart would help us move on.
