Gift of life flows within offering us ups and downs Holds me in its spell when love blossoms and surrounds Unleashed hope growing with each blessing sent my way Joy within a bursting heart fills my soul with warmth each day Giving strength to muddle through hard times I must endure Knowing this may be the way for growth might then reassure Looking forward to different flavors of life's experience Might Love inspire us to add new light to our circumstance Always moving forward as we allow past defeat to move along Amid the ups and downs Loving might just keep us strong
