Live Life To the Fullest, Dare To Be Brave

Live Life To The Fullest, Dare To Be Brave Live life to the fullest, dare to be brave Birth destines us unto the lonely grave Between that moment that first gasping breath Comes a bevy of gasps until our death Shall we seek much more, stirring well life's stew From heart and soul, ask for wisdom anew. In that dance, upon sweeter seas set sail Knowing knights never find the Holy Grail In that knowledge accept Hope and its glow Measure your true worth, live not just for show Fight the world, attack its savage decrees Speak, write, and plead your prayers on bended knees. Wake to morn, rejoice in the break of day If lost, strive to proceed another way. Robert J. Lindley, 11-05- 2020 Sonnet

Thank you my friend. Live and dare to be brave. For such oft brings its rewards. Or perhaps it is only the faith in that which brings the blessings. Either way, once one has lived it , seen it- the truth speaks volumes,, God bless..
