Life Worthy

Life worthy
06/09/2018




Life’s too short so have a blast
Stop living in the bloody past

Get out there and live some life
Marry yourself a beautiful wife

Take some risks and quit that job
That turned you into a lazy slob

Hit the gym and swim some laps
Adjust your food and never look back

Check your attitude at the door
Keep working on that strengthened core

Take the kids out, no not for ice cream
Make them run until they scream

They’ll hate you now but love you later
Show them how to strive for greater

Life is harsh and full of pain
Take them walking in the rain

For all things good come at a price
And getting there may not be nice

Nothing ventured nothing gained
Your little life will stay the same

So grab your life fully by the horns
Tackle it and endure it’s thorns

For in the struggle lies the lesson
The core of all I’m here professing

Life is pain
Pain is life
Embrace the strain
Embrace your wife
Embrace each day
Embrace each struggle

Life has a way
The way is Hard
Embrace the pain
Embrace each shard
Embrace the growth
Embrace life’s journey
Life is precious
Make sure your worthy

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist, and I'd love to help bring your story to life if you're ever interested. Feel free to reach out at gm@il : akiracomicart2@ or on inst@ akiraa_artly

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
