Loving Life
If we are willing to learn, life is willing to teach
If we are willing to listen, the sounds of life will reach
If you are willing to receive, life has much to give
Take what life gives, make the best of it, and live
Sometimes, bad things come to good people, like a bitter pill
When trials come, please do not stress; don't be hasty: be still
We do not always know what life will bring or share
We do know that others care, and will help us bare
We have peaks and valleys; there are some tricks; but there are more treats
Life is sometimes cold and bitter; but more often, it is warm and sweet
There is a little of the bad, sad, and ugly; but life is really mostly good
Life can’t be all good, because we don’t always do the things we should
Ignore the promises of the “quick fix”; it takes time for wounds to heal
Don’t seek the “get rich quickies”; such likes are usually schemes and tricky
So, slow it down a notch or two, watch a sunset; inhale the good life
It’s staring you in the face, offering opportunities and grace
Take some time off; take a break; get away; and take a walk along the beach
Take a trip, but not on a plane; relax and take it easy on a slow moving train
Turn off alarm clock; don’t answer the phone too quickly; smell the flowers
Live and love your life; pick a rose, or maybe two; share them with someone you love
