Live, Laugh, Love

Life’s all about learning to love
Invest in others, put on the givers’ glove
Value others, like they are a viable venture
Expend on them, your time, talent and treasure

Life is all about living today without worries
Allow hope to stay while you dream tarries
Understand that life is but a passing phase
Gently lean on God’s promises and grace
Hope for the best for the rest of your days

Learn to lend someone your life, love and light
Open your door to the poor; give them the widow’s mite
View life from other people’s perspective, and then
Express emotional concern when it seem there are in a den

A very inspiring poem, Adeleke, full of wisdom and practical guidance. Check the last line for spelling/grammar? I especially love the first stanza: "put on the giver's glove - value others like they are a viable venture" Powerful imagery, well done.
