Life

From the sweet smell of home,
Where we learn to love and grow,
Where we develop logic in the incandescent stars above,
To wherever life may take us,
Comes about the human condition of surety and doubt. 
Finding the hazards that come in life,
Such as, the twisting labyrinth of life,
And the unmerciful abruptness of death,
Cannot be as superb as loving the ones your closest to
And cherishing the moments you have with them.

If times get rough because of life's twists and turns,
Then we may always turn to life's most primal of emotions;
Whether it be anger, remorse, or irrepressible joy.
And if we struggle about the seemingly impenetrable four corners of depression;
Hate, sadness, boredom, and distress;
Then we will beckon the ones we need most in this hurtful time in life.

When we find our course again,
And know which way we are going,
We will then have the knowledge to expect,
Yet, another one of life's meaningful challenges ahead.
And so, everyday we will know that life is filled with difficult times,
And a lot of life experiencing lessons.
