As Life Is to Live

Looking at the Rush of waters at the shore,

Makes you think of life a little more.

Many People walk in and out of you,

Leaving marks on the sand all fresh and new.



Every moment you live you enjoy it all,

You never know if you'll rise or fall.

Every stage of life it's a lesson to learn,

Its all measured with what respect you earn.



When the birds sing and the night has gone,

All dreams are shattered and its early morn.

This is one lesson which life teaches you,

That the moments you enjoy are very few.



Keep the smile on your face all day long,

Bad times come and go but you must strong.

Don't curse the rain when the seasons change,

Its just passing clouds and nothing strange



Life is a lesson everyday you live,

As life is to live our love is to give.

Be good in life and life will be good to you.

Remember the moments you enjoy are very few.

I think this poem almost has a life of its own. As weird as that may sound, it's the only way I can describe it. I think since the theme is so powerful, it really persaunifies (spelling is so not fun :|) the poem as a whole.

Thanks so much for signing my guest book :) You're the first, so feel special!

*Chuckles* No, I promise I'm not following your life. I may be a nerdish weird-o occasionally, but I'm not stalkerish LOL. But seriously, "The Story" is really about how I became saved...But I like to think it's more than that. I think it can qualify as everyone's story in some way or another.
