Life

Life
Full of ups and downs
Highs and lows
Smiles and frowns

Life
So precious
Can so easily
Be taken from us
Before our time
So I will try
To treasure all of mine

Life
So unfair at times
When innocent people
Fall victim to crimes
When those who have less
Give so much more
When selfish are the rich
And generous the poor

Life
Full of love and also hate
So short and yet so long
When things are bad and also great

Life
Has only so long
Before death
Comes along
So treasure your days
While you still can
In all possible ways

Life can be harsh but, it really is a blessing. There are many ugly things in life but there are also so many beatiful things in it as well. We need to cherish the beauty of life and not dwell on the uglyness. For our time on Earth is short. Thank you for sharing :)

I really like this poem, I enjoy a poem that is penned in the old fashioned style of rhyme. I would like to read a chapter of your novels if I could.

Thank you. I only have one novel that I am working on right now and only the first two chapters are completed.
