Life Is What You Make It

Birth of an infant, a mom's victorious pain From monosyllables to phrases to sentences Speech takes the place of shouts and cries Actions replaces the moans; coos and tries From crawls to strollers, sturdy legs stood up From dolls to cars, who could have thought Later from afar, some "plays" could leave a scar or some games will give you one or more stars! Myriads of people come and goes in life Who will dare to stay, care or leave a strife? Pinnacles and woes there will always be Yet, this the beauty of life one could have been For each teardrop fall, hails and molds a soul For each mistake, numbers large blessings For each joy and success, paves to motivate For each step and decision, leads to a better self A top billboard list, one can be Blockbuster live movie of life, one can also be Best selling unwritten book, one can also be Or the least a kind laity that one can be Our life, may either be at peace and of bliss Or the other way around, at war and of pissed They say: "live life to fullest.." But who can ever say: The hows' For our life comes from God No one can readily predict When it will be last or gone Or when exactly is death?
