Life

life,
     what is life,
                      or,what is known of life,
                                                   but what we experience;
for to know life one must experience life,
        and to experience life,
                        one mjst get out and live it;
one must trumpet among the elephants,
          and to crow among the cocks;
one must run with the mustangs,
           bleat with the goats,
                           and to soar with the eagles;
for to truely know life,
            one must cry with those who cry,
                             and to rejoice with those who laugh;
yes,we must work with those who labour,
             minister with those who heal,
                               and fight alongside those who fight;
for to truely know life,
               we must not be afraid to live life,
                                 we must aim for the mountaintops,
                                                     and then begin to climb.
