Life

Life 
 

Life is full of lessons
If we open our eyes to see
And act upon the second changes
That is given to you and me
Life holds such treasures
Bountiful riches beyond compare
If we look out for others
And less in the mirror
Life is full of happiness
If we allow ourselves to start
Receiving God’s blessings
By opening up our heart
Life is unpredictable
And certainly not guaranteed
So it’s never too early
To plant the redemption seed
Life is a miracle given
Yet can be taken on a dime
No amount of money in the world
Could ever buy more time
Life is what you make it
So cherish it each day
For no one knows the hour
It might be taken away
