Notes About The Poem

LIFE IS SO PRECIOUS AND FRAGILE. WE ARE LIVING ON THE EDGE OF THE UNIVERSE. ENJOY IT.

The Art of Living

DID YOU GIVE LIFE ALL YOU COULD GIVE 
DO YOU REGRET THE LIFE YOU LIVE 
TAKE THE TIME TO SAY HELLO 
FROM ATOP A MOUNTAIN LOOKING DOWN BELOW
HAVE YOU STOOD ON THE OCEANS SHORE
LISTEN TO THE OCEANS ROAR 
GAZE THE SKIES AND STARS ABOVE,
RESEARCH THE MEANING OF TRUE LOVE.
RELINQUISH TIME AND SMELL THE FLOWERS
UNDERSTAND THEIR HEALING POWER.
HAVE YOU EVER SEEN A REDWOOD TREE 
IS 400 YEARS REALLY HARD TO BELIEVE 
WERE YOU WILLING TO CROSS THIS LAND
TO COMPREHEND JUST WHERE YOU STAND 
ARE YOU EXPERIENCED WITH THUNDER STORMS
WHERE LIGHTNING AND THUNDER ARE THE NORM
CAN YOU SURVIVE A WINTERS FREEZE
AND STILL ENJOY A SUMMERS BREEZE

Stanley Dorsey December 14, 2017 at 3:48 PM Taking not giving is what I felt. Taking the time to discover what's around you. Your message is important when stress in life makes you forget. Michael E. Harris December 15, 2017 at 2:44 PM Thank You Stanley. Life is Great Fantastic Incredible and at Times Unbelievable. Yes, take the time to enjoy what life is. Physically mentally emotionally visually look deep within and enjoy what is all around.
