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.
