Make Life a Celebration

The gift of life is a wondrous thing.
Before aches and pains the onset of age bring,
Feast on the glories, God has set,
In goblets filled for man to taste.

Fill your heart with the elixir of love.
Champion the cause of peace as your vow.
Act in the Present and look up with hope,
For it’s the magic that fills up every cup.

Wipe a tear and bring some cheer,
That sure will leave you truly dear.
Make the weary feel that you care,
And lighten the burden that they bear.

A glow of warmth when borne on your face,
Adds so much more to your innate grace.
So light up your face with radiant smiles,
And let your laughter ring down the aisles.

Nothing lasts ever, it’s wise to learn.
So why go crazy for so much to earn?
Worldly gains may add up to your fame,
But such transient things, your soul may defame!

Silent One Date: 8/15/2024 12:42:00 PM Hey Valsa.. Your poem is a beautiful and thoughtful reflection on the essence of life and the virtues we should strive to embody. The way it encourages us to embrace life’s joys, while reminding us of the impermanence of material pursuits, offers a profound message. The lines urging us to "Fill your heart with the elixir of love" and to "Champion the cause of peace" are particularly inspiring, as they call for a life led by compassion and hope. Login to Reply

Tom Woody Date: 8/14/2024 5:53:00 AM Worldy wealth is indeed transient and, to quote Solomon, a "chasing after the wind." Better to let the simple things bring us contentment and to generously give to others. Then our laughter will be pure and genuine. You're always so good Valsa Login to Reply
