Love of Life

I am listening and hear what you say.
I myself have hurt this way.
Had I given up and closed the door
I'd have missed a world of so much more.
In time I've found that wounds do heal
and life presents gifts of love with zeal.
So on I go with life's ups and downs
just being thankful that life rebounds.
