What it is to live life

You stop and smell the flowers A time, a break from realities truth Creatures great and small breath We don't understand, never taught as child Just able to live life not knowing It all ends, we grow fast Meaning of life never a thought We're taught the integrity of life Not of one's soul but respect learn What it is to live life, who we are matters Or do we get entangled in web of deceit Losing sight of what really matters Growing as an adult engaged in our desires Consumed by everyday's iniquity We forget easily, to follow our feelings Skies turn blue as much as darkness roams Life being what you make, despite obstacles Only finding peace when quietness exist But not in ourselves, what is it to live life That we struggle frustration anxiety Only in oneself real meaning lives Happiness, untold story laid depths of darkness A smile lights the world as if sun rises As if stars ignite the universe sky's at night A pleasant feeling, a greeting from kind being Enjoying birds, bee's and animals at play Let's remember, it's heart that keeps us alive But a feeling that thrives nourishment Not the pleasures which brings complications But the human in you is what it is to live life
