We Live

Coffee Mugg

We live,
We think,
But do we think about living?
Do we take it for granted?
Is it a misgiving?

A picture painted.
Destiny bound,
A life tainted,
No one around,
Someone fainted.

Alone you are free,
To do as you wish,
Who needs company,
Is this childish?

It's ok, you say,
Let the children play,
What is in a day?
What is today?

Why is there never a tomorrow,
But always a yesterday?
A day you can never change,
What has been , no rearrange

.

A dream, a sweet memory,
Beauty unsurpassed,
No misery,
Today will never last.

Not enough words,
To go around,
Listen to the birds,
Their happy sound.

We live!
Put your heart into it,

It is the only life you have.

    So true! So true! I know this is. This is written straight from the heart and I absolutely love it. (Do I sound like I'm repeating myself, because it is true!) I love this. Once again, Ken, you've got a masterpiece.

    Upbeat words . . . with a wonderful encouragement, particularly for the beginning of a new year. ;-)
