Live Your Life

Forgive your shortcomings, seize the day Go for the true happiness that you seek Count stars at night, indulge yourself, and write Work efficiently then take time to play Love with all your heart and expect nothing Compromise but don’t let your morals sway Take time to feel raindrops and taste the snow Sculpt a masterpiece, your life is the clay Be sure to think about the words you speak Indulge yourself and write, count stars at night Smile if things are tough, it will be okay 05/01/2021 Written for A new Abracadabra Poem Poetry Contest Sponsored by Emilie Pinet

Sounds like a life lived well, Evelyn. Good luck! My favorite line in this poem is, "Sculpt a masterpiece, your life is the clay" excellent!
