Life

Life, a treasure so divine, a precious gift from above,
A fleeting moment, a breath, a spark of endless love.
If you're breathing today, thank the Giver of life,
For every sunrise, every breath, every heartbeat's gentle strife.

Life is priceless, beyond gold or wealth's might,
A rare and precious gem, shining with beauty and light.
You can't purchase it, no amount of riches can buy,
It's a gift to every soul, regardless of earthly ties.

Oxygen flows freely, a gift to all, rich and poor alike,
A symbol of life's equality, a reminder to breathe, to live, to thrive.
Thank Yah, the Creator, for this life so dear,
For every moment, every chance, every opportunity to live, to love, to hear.

Some had wealth, power, and fame, yet couldn't take it to the grave,
Presidents, lawyers, and the rich, all left their riches, their legacy to wave.
You don't live by chance, but by the grace of God above,
A sovereign ruler, guiding our steps, our lives, our love.

Let's cherish life, let's love one another, with all our heart,
For one day we'll leave this earth, and our accomplishments will depart.
We'll leave behind the wealth, the fame, the power, the might,
And take with us only the love, the memories, the light.

Life is more precious than anything we own,
More valuable than riches, more dear than any earthly throne.
Without it, we'd cease to be, our stories untold,
Our dreams unfulfilled, our hearts cold.

Let's live each day with gratitude, with love, with kindness, and with care,
For life is a treasure, rare and precious, beyond compare.
Let's honor the Giver, let's cherish this gift so divine,
And live each moment, with purpose, with love, with life's rhyme.
