Now That We Are Here

It’s not so difficult to enjoy this awesome life. Now that we are here, why look for grief or strife? Strife will come, but there is so much more that life can be. Why not live it with love and laughter. Live life vibrantly! Awaken and embrace each new day with awe. Smile a lot, and if you hear a juicy joke – guffaw! Leave your heartstrings open to be played just like a song. Accept those who annoy you, and make your love be strong. Learn from your mistakes so that you might grow, remembering that you are sure to reap whatever you sow. Have gratitude, faith and hope; and always give and give! Yes, live life with vibrancy, and happily you’ll live. March 20, 2023 For Unseeking Seeker's Now That We Are Here Poetry Contest

"Strife will come, but there is so much more that life can be." If it were possible to hug someone's words I would never let these go. This is my creed this is how I wake up every morning. I love reading something that brings out my emotion. Warmly A.S.

Great verse, Andrea, I didn't know what to write." Accept those who annoy you, and make your love be strong." I need to do this more often.
