Simply what you make of it
Life is yours to mold
The guarantee of avoiding death
Is simply to get old
The importance lies between the ends
Your beginnings and your means
Are what matters most
Every day that you find yourself breathing
Is the only chance that you are given
From moment to person
Your influences are the hands
Molding the clay of life
Creating history and legacy
Shaping your end
From the youngest of ages you are beautiful
Full of dreams and overflowing hopes
At the furthest realms of age you are beautiful
Full of love and overflowing memories
If handed only one chance
What would you do with it?
Given each day only once
What have you made of it?
Life is yours to shape and mold
Simply what you give
Age is guaranteed to grow
Simply becoming, aged old
Beauty lies within the means
That bring you to your end
All of your new beginnings and moments
Simply moments of breathing

ReplyDeleteWow...I LOVE this poem, did you write it yourself?
ReplyDeleteYes, I did- thank you both for your compliments! I was digging around the other day and found a few poems, thought I'd post one. I seem to have lost my knack for it lately- but... it comes and goes.
