Life Is What You Make It

Life Is What You Make It

A Poem by Debra Stevens Edwards (debby)

Life is what we make it, in our own way.

The choices we make throughout each day.

 

 

Shape how we live as well as our reactions.

To life’s road blocks and other distractions.

 

When you look at the world what do you see.

Death and destruction of human’s vile decay.

Are you someone who will see it this sad way?

 

Or do you still find simple beauty all around.

Do you still find nature’s beauty so profound?

 

Will you share your smile with those who pass?

You’re the only one who can choose to bypass,

 

The things you do throughout your own walk.

For me it’s easy, I chose to walk with Gods talk.

Debbie, how true..A lot of people see only the ugly things in this world that God has made..He made it beautiful..man has turned it into what it looks like today..I think every one sometimes needs a vacation from their selves and just go back to the natural..and look at the beauty and peace around you in a place made by the Master's Hands..a child's smile, a butterfly, a pond with ducks, the setting sun, the mountains, the clouds floating by on a warm summer day..it is just too easy to take for granted that these things will always be..Stop and talk to God..I like that..God bless Valentine

The last two lines are beautiful and yes, we all have a choice how
to live our lives.........and hopefully make others happy.

i choose to walk with God's talk too :)

very nice poem...i like rhyming ones lol

and yea it's true, every single step in our life is meant to happen and we can't change it. and no matter how bad it gets we should just try to fix it. bad stuff happens so that we can fix it and then become better.

nice job :)
