My Inspiration!!! I love Langston. What an awesome poet! This poem shows that life is worth living even when you lose love....I've written a poem in his honor before

Nothing should rob you of your smile because....LIFE IS FINE! :)

This life is fine The world is mine Though I can’t stop The hands of time The birds all sing And flowers bloom The sun still shines And chases gloom And I can view The sparkling sea And all the stars Just dance with me The clouds, they hide And I must seek The creatures small At me, they peek The grass is cool Beneath my feet The water dew Now wets my cheek I have true friends A family And hope of an Eternity A place where I Will not fear death Where all is sweet Upon my breath Where tears will cease to touch my face And I am blessed By Heaven’s Grace My life is fine The world is mine This is my time To truly shine Eileen Manassian

I really love ALL your poetry, Eileen. I've read a lot of them but haven't commented til now. Also, this poem is so simple, like Langston's, and I just love "simple". Will visit more often from now on.

Eileen, I enjoyed your poem very much. The power message of be grateful to be alive spoke loud and clear. Thanks for sharing. I love Langston Hughes he's one of my favorite poets. Great job! :-) Alexis 7

I love Darren to bits as an amazing friend - I have had more contact with him in the past week than I had in the previous 14 months! I still continued to write to him on a regular basis even though I got very little feedback I just needed him to know he was in my thoughts .... and finally my persistence has paid off :-) hugs jan xx

I'm catch up with you soon now that I'm better. I don't wish to miss your wisdom. Ese toso Sophos....

Thank you, my dear poet. I was emotionally unwell these past two days. Thank God I'm better. Another cause it's that my daughter will be leaving again to study abroad. I've had her with me for one year, and it is so hard to let go. I cry now and again, but I MUST be strong for her sake. Thelo na prosefxeis gia mas...toso diskolee gia mena...efkharisto kai filakia.
