Life

Life....
Everyone sees it differently
Some people take it for granted as if they deserve it
To me life is like a plant..
In one part of our life we bloom, looking so beautiful
But then some petals start to fall....
We start to fall...
Life is as precious as gold...
It holds the key to opportunity and joy
Life is like a candle....
There's a matter of time before the candle melts and the flames die down...
Each day is full of learning and comprehending
What we want and what we need...
LIFE IS...what we make of it....
LIFE...
