Life

Morning has broken,
Like the first morning,
Black bird has spoken,
Like the first word

Compare this to life,
My dearest friends,
We must live life to the full,
To the bitter end.

I sit here amazed,
At what life will bring,
Seemingly un phased,
Still unable to sing

Destined for greatness,
Me? I think not,
The great unanswered question,
Will I be famous or not?

A gripping finale,
My lifes a thriller,
The music grows tense,
The ending a spine chiller.

Hows this thriller end,
My friends I cant say,
For the best advice,
Is to live for today

Vince, I wanted to tell you that I enjoyed this poem. The wisdom in your advice to live for today, not JUST for today, is clear to me. I have tried to live as though today would be my last day and I wanted to get to heaven. I read that you love God and Jesus. Therefore, I know that when you live for today, you are living toward eternity, too. There's no time to waste judging or bickering while here. I, like you, also believe that God loves good music and creativity. Keep writing. Smiles DAS-J

Sarcastic poem even though it's poised... but the wisdom of the fool is to live just for today. I'd like to advice you to reentry with a final stanza as: But how just to live... happily just for today? thought tomorrow grabs another special ray... living wise for more than.. just a one calendar day. Wishing you all the best.
