Life is a Gift

Life is a Gift

A Poem by alice
"

Inspired by my mom, written for her and her struggles. For mothers, daughters and the struggle to survive.

"
This is the story my mother told me as she held my hand;
Daughter, look far out to the horizon and witness all of gods land.

Look further than the ice caps if you cannot see, where the star glistens
Remember that for every deed, God is watching you from his chair of
Judgment. Be graceful, be grateful, life is a gift.

Child born from love, you'll grow old and weary as I.
You must never lose the path of greatness, a venture we take as we travel along fate.

The world is a challenge we must take, an adventure so full of tragedies.
Never lose sight from your destiny as you may go blind and all you'll have left is memories.
Don't sway away from hardship, it's a sacrifice we must all embrace.

I feel some things are best said in brevity..for me the length as it is now is perfect..
Your mother would be very proud of you..such a beautiful beautiful tribute..such words of wisdom,as precious as gem stones..
I am going to pick up the lines..
Child born from love, you'll grow old and weary as I.
You must never lose the path of greatness, a venture we take as we travel along fate.
and tuck them under my pillow..keep them for myself to guide me in my darkest days..:)

Ahhh, I am teary eyed! LOL Thanks! Really though, this was truly amazing. You say that you wish to expand it because it is too short, nah. I don't think there is any such thing. I think it is lovely, and perfect the way it is! ;)
