Life Is What You Make It

Birth, inception of life,
Reason to celebrate
Joyous moments 
Taking great pride,

Body the chariot,
Soul passenger,
Mind is the one
That drives,

Check your thoughts,
Cultivate ideas,
Work hard 
Not for reward,

Your deeds decide
Nascence of life,
Life is what
You make it,

Selfish or kind
A humble mind,
Poor or rich
Honest or witch,

Remember you must
Shed everlasting lust,
Equality for all
Do your very best ,

Sooner or later
All make peace,
Nothing will count,
Unannounced comes the death !!

Dr Umpa, nice win.... ... By the way I have something to say to all who supported my ANY POEM # 19 contest. Shame on me, Shame on me! Please forgive me, for not taking the time, to CONGRATULATE and adore all the winning poems for a second or third time. I AM VERY LATE:(-- I was a little mad at the world. However, this is my winning list, I will give everyone the same love and support. I'm dropping by with a Copy Paste note from the bottom of my heart. I am sorry, it's not like me, to walk away, as if nothing. Truly, I appreciate every winning poem, and HM. LOVE LINDA
