THE BEAUTY OF LIFE


The beauty of life I miss when my thoughts race in an unsteady haste

Is worrying about problems the solution or is it only that I am making waste?

Taking what I have for granted instead of appreciating the good in life that awaits

Do I not take notice of the kindness others show or do I dwell on pastexperiences that arise which bring about the hates

Life is too short not to have fun and experience the joy of giving andsharing one's self as I awake to a brand new day

To overcome the small unimportant problems or worries that mount becauseof the lack of not understanding one's inner self and not applying one'sfaith by turning and running away

I look around and see what's before me and come to notice I have a choiceeither to live life to the fullest or watch it go by

Life is what you make of it and how you perceive yourself by makingpositive choices and decisions that you will remember and know as yourtime has passed that you will not have to ask yourself why?

Struggles and challenges of making a living and caring for one's self andloved ones is what most of us live for

It's the determination to make our lives more meaningful and happy asdifficult as this is to achieve when we fall short of our expectationsand cry out in silence of wanting more

I am a person who accepts the good with bad and glad I am healthy andalive to be able to view life as the person who I am without regret orsorrow

I live for today to know my horizon can be reached for it is my tomorrow
