Live

Live!

When you live – you laugh, you cry
You make a difference
When you live – you fall, you try
You are the difference

Challenges, obstacles, disappointments;
Life’s hurdles.
Peace, harmony, joy;
Life’s victories.

You have the choice to revolutionize!
Change within and change your world.
You have been given the power to save!
Save within and save your world.

My nation, my children
Make a difference
My nation, my children
You are the difference

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." Have a blessed day.

Nice write Claudene! I like how you said 'You are te difference' - it makes every life lived important. And that's the essence of your theme. Just lovely!
