Life

Life is a Battle,life ia a game
Where every opponent,has their own name
Everyone's trying to be their best
Preparing themselves for god's test
We all have the answers, there in your head
Your body and thoughts,put you to bed
You have to be happy, to see yor soul
When you do this, your life will be whole
Kids are the answer, this much is true
They are all angels, talking to you
I know the answer, I figured it out
Talk to your children, there is no doubt
They have all the answers, and need our attention
They glisten like angels, did I forget to mention

this is a lovely write and so true! oh to have the blinding faith of a child. when you are young your glass is so small it is always filled, as you get older your glass gets bigger and it takes more to fill it, i got that off a movie lol but thats what your poem says to me. =)
