Life Is Short

Contributed by pixie on Saturday, 2nd October 2004 @ 10:50:13 AM in AEST
Topic: Lifepoems



That is something I have been taught,
That we’re not here long, life is very short,
So make the most of it while you are here,
Don’t waste your precious time, let go of fear.

Cherish the loved one’s, who are close,
They are the ones, who mean the most,
Without them life would be very empty,
But they give you love & friendship a plenty.

We are only alive a very short while,
Just remember that & please try to smile,
Treasure the moments you share with your lover,
Don’t take for granted your sister or brother.

Swallow your pride & say that you’re sorry,
Don’t let your borrowed days be filled with worry,
Enjoy your life & spread around your joy,
Laugh like a child with a brand new toy.

Every day is a gift that I have learnt not to waste,
I want to indulge in life now I’ve had a taste,
I outstretch my hand to all of my friends,
We are all unique individuals with a different blend.

Good poem, I liked the first lines the most and that's weired because the finale is always stronger than the head of the poem, but here the head of the poem is better than the finale, but good job and keep it up.
