Live, Laugh, Love

L iving, in its basic sense, is easy.
I t’s a thing done automatically.
V ibrant life, however, must be strived for.
E ndeavor to be all that you can be.  

L aughter is a key ingredient.
A waken and embrace each day with awe.
U ndaunted by misfortunes, smile! Just
G uffaw!
H appy people LOL.  Ha Ha!

L ast, but most importantly,
O pen up your heartstrings. Give and give!
V ast will be the blessings that you reap -
E ternal bliss for those who truly live.

For Tirzah Conway's Acrostic Contest:
Live, Laugh, Love

The happiest people that I've met in my life were the poorest financially, but had attainable dreams that kept them afloat. Dreams is a synonym for viable hope. They were also people who lived day by day for today and not for tomorrow, and they were always great forgivers! Loved your poem, thank you again for honoring my scribblings with your very considerate comments!

Ah, dear Andrea, a homily for the ages. You be real fine at the acrostic form. Did I tell you - my son is doing a gig with The Grateful Dead. I hear they're one of the old rock bands making a comeback. Love, Dave

Hi Andrea! Thank you for your comment on "So far"! Yes, even i Germany they get sometimes confused, but that is just for stupidity as they all know here that Gert is a name for a male person! Have a great week!...Love, Gert

Hi Andrea, I enjoyed your acrostic and you're so right, merely existing is automatic but really living life to the full presents more of a challenge. Your 'laugh' stanza mde me laugh ~ Sharon :)
