Life Is

Life is... Life is your first cry that makes your mom and dad smile it is the sleepless nights they will have to spend for a while it’s the excitement they feel when you first say a word And your first step, your second and your third It’s the fear in your heart when you take a step of your own knowing moving forward, you will soon face the unknown it’s the courage you pull out of your innermost heart it’s the hope towards a brand new start it’s the tears you shed for your broken dreams it’s the grudge you hold for all the worlds schemes But it’s also the love and kindness you choose to show it’s your resiliency to bounce back from below Life is the smile you give to a stranger And how giddy you are when you try to pursue her it’s when you decide to bind two hearts as one it’s the story you want to tell your daughter and your son Life is grieving for what’s lost and gone But it’s also choosing to move on Life is praying for God’s mercy and grace It’s your heart longing for His embrace Life is the choice you make day in and day out What you made out of it, is what it’s all about It’s your triumph, your victory and your failure It’s lifting it all up to Christ our saviour.
