The Price of "Living"

                              when one is growing,

                        changing,

                  ever trying to improve oneself,

            and one is showing,

       proving,

that one has reason to live,



                               when one is living,

                         being,

                   helping others who need it badly,

             and one is knowing,

       doing,

to make the world better for us,



                               when one is helping,

                         guiding,

                   to show others the way out,

             and one is knowing,

       seeing,

the pathway to the right,



                               when one is hoping,

                         waiting,

                   for one true love to come their way,

             and one is wanting,

       needing,

to be loved by all others before them,



                                               when one is trying,

                                           but losing,

                                       in a game known as life,

                                   when they repair it,

                               fix it,

                           or someone else makes it better again,

                       when one is having fun,

                   joking,

               with friends like they ever should,

          when one is choosing,

     feeling,

a happy, optimistic life,



                               when one is a hero,

                         heroine,

                   always saving the day,

             and one is verifying,

       proving,

that you are worth a hundred percent.
