Best Life Is Too Short Poems


Life Is Too Short

I take look at my life
I could see the green pastures
Which are like garden of Eden
They are full of fruit
colorful fruit
I could see the oranges
mangoes and guavas
I could even smell
the sweet taste of aroma from nature
but I am not there physical
And life is too short
to achieve everything

But once at a time
some say bit by bit
some say steady but surely
what do i say my dear friend
because some people cant stand up strong
some people cant wait for long
while they have mission to complete
and life is too short

too short to achieve everything
What is our youth doing in our communities
ignoring politics while living under constitution
Instead of fighting technical fight
they are fighting physical fights
killing our innocent brothers
raping and robbing the women of our nation
these people have lost their humanity
I shall recall on our great heroes
who stood up and fought for our rights
yet they knew their limits
but they went far beyond their limits
because they knew that life is too short
to live under oppression

Life Is Too Short

Life is extremely short:
To have friends and watch them hurt,
To have ideas; and then abort,
To judge others; no matter their ‘worth’,
To encourage stereotype of any sort,
Don’t waste life; it is much too short,
Cherish and enjoy it: from womb to dirt.
                                 End

Life Is Too Short

Do what you love to do, 
embrace changes and encounter disappointment,
give it your very best, 
make peace with your past
don’t argue and fight,
don’t waste energy for things you can’t adjust,
except yourself and don’t worry about stupid thought,
Life is too short to do the things you don't love doing.

Do the best you can,
and don't let people make your life miserable,
and live your life to a higher note,
don’t waste your time hating anyone,
give the time, sometime,
take calculated risks and make mistakes
regret nothing, get hurt and be liable,
Life is too short to be miserable.

Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow,

Life Is Too Short

In no time, seconds tick to minutes and minutes hasten to hours 
Hours run full speed to days, days grow wings and fly to become weeks 
Then months, years, decades…. 
Like a flash, all this like a flash, life is too short 

Because life is too short, 
Maximizing pleasure is for them no fault 
Like one possessed, so the girl dances the night away 
But her morning turns bitter, realizing she has gone faraway 

And the devoted family man falls for it too ‘cause life is too short 
For the sweet and the pleasant he craves, 
So he steals the waters, and the bread in secret he breaks 
But alas, to a piece of bread he is brought by his stolen waters 

The church woman as well, and her feet, abide not in her house, for life is too short 
“Come let’s take our fill of love till morning, for the good man has gone a long journey” 
Like the adulteress spoken of by King Solomon, with her cage 
She whispers to her latest catch, her last offspring’s age 

Child, you’re wrong and that’s not the meaning, so hear 
Not in your narrow interpretation life is surely too short, dear 
Life is so short that you maximize enjoyment? 
Child, you’re wrong and that’s not the meaning, so hear 

Man, damn right life is too short; too narrow is your understanding 
To share have I what really meanest it, so your attention please give me 
I swear you will get it not even when you lend me both your ears 
But your virgin mind too bring it along, so you appreciate what exactly meanest “life is too short” 

Because life is too short, 
The Heavenly Father wants to be your Lord 
By His providence and His providence alone the King requires you in His fold 
For life is too short, out of you your Creator wants to get the most with no fault 

Woman, in His paths of light He wants to guide your weak feet 
Before He takes from you His breath 
‘Cause He knows life is too short to be lived meaninglessly, so precious is every minute He is to give 
And independent of Him He doesn’t want you to live 

Life is too short, dear 
His perfect will on you is all He wants you to grasp clear 
So that to His Kingdom you hugely contribute before His breath He takes away 
For life is surely too short only in this way.

 Life is lived only once. Live it with honor. 
         It's ever so fleeting, so make it worthwhile.
           Forgive and forget slights and move on.
  Eschew hatred, they corrode like acid; choose love. 

       Imbibe words of the wise and pass them on.
     Smell life's roses and celebrate small victories. 

       Take time to breathe and enjoy the sun rays.
         Opportunities made of gold do not knock 
       Often, so when one does, open the door and... 

         Seize it with a vice-like grip lest it escapes!
     Have your me-time, your conversation with God
     On good days as well as bad. He always listens! 
   Remember, dear friend, we're shotgun passengers 
    Traveling in this rugged road that is life, but once.

Life Is Too Short

Life is too short to be worrying about he said she said
It only starts problems and drama and the fire soon starts to spread
Yet the truth never unrolls its self like a spool of thread
And the results are friendships and relationships start to crumble and mold like a loaf of bread

People are so caught up in making and believing all the lies
It’s like they get a high for telling all the lies
What do people think they get the Noble Prize?
You have people looking at you asking why
Why do people like making people cry
Who are you trying to be in disguise?
In reality here is some advice
Liars, fakes, cheaters, abusers, and wanna bes are nobodies in real peoples eyes 

So lets break away from all the hate
There is no reason to discriminate
To walk the beat of your own drum is a skillful trait
Everyone is different like a car license plate
Its okay to be always changing like a discount rate

People need to realize in there is a due date
You never know when it is, so don’t wait
Live your life to the greatest rather it be with or without fate
This may lead to a debate
Yet if everyone could come together, we could all cross home plate
Moral to life, is that it is too short
Practice and play hard like it is a sport
Pretend that you are living on a resort
And everyone you come across is like a friend of some sort
We all need to be escorts
And treat everyone with love, respect, and kindness like it’s our last resort
Now let’s end this on a good report 
And stop all the hate and negativity and start giving some support 

Any thoughts or comments?

Life Is Too Short

Life is too short

To be depressed

To be discontented

To be faithless

To be fake

To be hateful

To be hopeless

To be isolated

To be lonesome

To be loveless

To be miserable

To be selfish

To be unfaithful

To be unhappy

To be untruthful

So be the opposite of all these things, 

Life is too short

Life is too short

We were born alone and alone we will die, why are people scared of saying goodbye

Our time is limited, our time is short, why are we worried if we are to abort 

Do good in life, be kind to people, show some compassion, show them we are equal

Relinquish your arrogance, embrace your modesty and life will bloom like an apple tree 

Try to be a doctor, or an architect, people with knowledge do gain respect

Take life easy, take life slow, when people are happy their skin will glow

You can be a playboy, or a millionaire, without your happiness you’re lost in despair

Life is too short
Was just getting into the swing of it
When WHAM... those so called Golden Years
Reared up and belted me on the side of the head
It's bloody well not fair!
Just when I thought I had it all figured out
My body says, “Hang in there, buddy!”
All my life, I looked forward to my retirement years
Then when they finally arrived
The gold is all tarnished and the body decides
It just doesn't want to co-operate anymore
So all you young'uns... it's as good as it's gonna get
Life sure is short
Enjoy it while it lasts!

Life Is Too Short

Live life to the fullest each and everyday, you never know when your time is up.  
Don’t live life by other people’s standards. Live life by your standards, be happy, 
be loving, be kind.  People will try to make you believe that you are suppose to do 
for them, live your life according to them, make your world revolve around them.  
GOD made us each individuals for a purpose.  Stress is best when Free is 
added to the end.  So…

Don’t harbor hatred, it only tears down your soul

Don’t hold grudges, it only eats you up whole

Smile, GOD has given you another day

Laugh, no matter what people say

Do good, it makes you feel a world apart

Love others, it’s good for your heart

Live, Laugh and Love – Life is too short not to

Premium Member Life Is Too Short

Laugh in the sunshine.
Kiss in the rain.
Celebrate the happiness.
Learn from the pain.
Live, Laugh, Love & Forget.
Life is too short to live with regrets.

Life Is Too Short To Be Wasted By Want of Action

Sometimes you feel without aim
Yet all the time want your name 
To bear moment and some fame
It feels awful to be game
To fate’s arrow that lands lame
And wants you just to be tame
Inaction’s an evil maim

Life Is Too Short

Life is too short
to sail away
to empty shores
and silent spaces.
And easy winds
bring memories so clear.
Don't look into 
too many angry faces
and of fear.
Too many hours lost
in vain and unsuccessful races.
And pictures from the past 
come to your mind
of people you once met
and sheer forgotten places.

Life Is Too Short

Sometimes…
There are events in our lives
That wakes us up
And slaps us in the face
To the facts…
That life is too short
And death so abrupt
Like losing a loved one
Or a spouse in a wreck
That any second chances
Is something we should want to respect?
And live life to its fullest
To forgive and to forget
Is the best lesson I’ve learned
Out of this life yet
