Notes About The Poem

Edward J Ebbs - April 10, 2015

Life Matters

Life does not stand still
If we look, we find friendship
There is always love
Sorrowfully, we look at death
There is always hate
Our days begin with sunlight
The night has darkness
Hope is the light of the moon
We only need one
One light to end the darkness
Your life does matter
Let your light shine fore others
Hope is the light from your life

This is true of our poetry, too. We may be inspiring others with our words and not even realize it... Love the positive message you send in this beautiful poem, Ed!
