The Beauty Of Life

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If only life could always be so beautiful and serene.

It's so difficult when you find yourself,

living in a world of hatred and revenge everyday.

You can only hope that in the future,

things will change for the better.

 

Like water flowing down a river,

we follow through the cycles of life.

Everyday we find ourselves so broken and lost,

in this enigmatic and unpredictable universe.

No matter how hard we try to stay the same, we always change.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It can be very difficult and dangerous,

as we ride along this thing called life.

Finding a safe and tranquil place to sleep,

can be very challenging and unpredictable.

You can never be too sure of your surroundings.

 

If only we would take the time to see,

just how awesome and worthwhile life is.

Instead of finding ways to destroy ourselves and each other,

why can't we all find ways of improving us?

We all are individuals and have so much to offer one another.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We are all free to do as we please yet,

we choose to live our lives in utter fear.

Like herds of wild animals we all clash,

then wonder why we end up the way that we do.

Life is so precious and can be so much more.

 

 

It cuts like a knife to know that deep inside,

we all are made up of the same elements.

Yet, we find ways to destroy and devastate one another.

Reach out and touch someone's heart today,

and let them know that it is alright to be who they are.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Life can be so heart breaking and cold,

when you are lost and all alone in this world.

It is so important that we all learn to open our hearts,

and accept each other for who we are deep inside.

Without this, we will never see our children and their's grow up.

 

Take the time to look into someone else's eyes,

give them a warm and memorable embrace.

Something that will touch them in ways,

that they have never felt before.

Inspire and teach them to grow in harmony.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When life is filled with sadness and abuse,

your heart tends to give up on itself.

Always know that somewhere out there,

there is someone that loves you more than you could ever know.

Believe in that and in time your world will turn around.

 

 

Never give in to the foolishness and stupidity,

that mankind presents to you as you go along.

Know that there is a much better way,

and to move on never giving into their temptations.

Stay hungry and strong willed throughout your life.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Somewhere along the line you will see,

that there is so much more to life than what you know.

Wonderful things can happen if you are patient,

give nature the opportunity and she will surprise you.

Always be respectful and never judge your fellow man.

 

Live and become the prime example that you set.

Break through every obstacle and boundary.

Take one step at a time and stop to admire the universe.

Breathe in every miracle and always stay positive.

The world needs you my friend, and so do I!
