Be the best in everything
Or at least try your best
For when you do you won't regret
And your heart will be at rest.
Love each other unconditionally
Be true to everyone
For when you do such a thing
Your freedom will be won
Try not to hate anybody
No matter what they do
For all things happen for a purpose
To make a better you
Be merciful and be ye kind
And forgive and remain true
For if you forgive others
Then you'll be forgiven too!
Take life not for granted
For life is not for free
For you will pay with your own life
That is our destiny
We all must die that is our call
It is not a choice
So while alive speak one and all
Let all hear your voice
Set your goals and live your dreams
Worry not of the past
Worry not of the future
But live each day as if it's the last.
And when that fateful death bell toll
You'll die a happy man/woman
For you fulfilled your destiny
You fulfilled your master plan.

Live life to the fullest...never take one day for granted...Reese this has truly won my heart!

I think this one is better. I want to print a hundred copies and just start passing them out to people so maybe they could start to understand, even if it is only just a little more understanding.

THe death bell toll. you must really like thinking about there being a death bell. this is something that i think would come out of god's mouth. yes I am very religious. i got confirmed on halloween and i'm very proud of that.

I like it :)
I really liked this due to the upbeat theme and the way you've tried to encourage your readers to take hope in your words. It's not the kind of poem I often like to read because it did in a way remind me of a prayer and it wasn't something I could really relate to my own life but you still wrote well. This was well written and maybe the only point I can make is to add a line or two about trying to look on the bright side when you're down...
I really loved the message you've tried to convey here though, good advice through poetry
nice idea
-
This had some great point to it.
This is not the kind of poem I particulary enjoy reading, it just doesn't fit my tastes which are quite odd and very rarely fully fulfilled.
Anyways you wrote this good and although I don't usually like this kind of piece to read, because it just seemes too happy for me to possibly relate or something somre of the lines put a smile to my face.
Don't hate anybody
No matter what they do
Those lines have a wonderful message more people should pay attention to.
So once again not my tastes, but you are a good writer, you have written something good, and I have no doubt that many will enjoy this. Besides that you have some very good lines and points
-
just what i needed to read today ... not "preachy" just good common sense stuff, well balanced and nicely done poetically
-
a great idea...concept...or whatever its called..a nice read with a nice message...rare, sadly enough, in the readings ive read...enjoyed..

This is so good!!
You are such a bright person, well you come across that way... its like you have to look on the bright side of things.
The piece is beautiful... it's always a good thing to live in the present and by being good to others then you will be reawrded...

a poem of hope and celebration of life! it's refreshing to say the least.
you've written of life's truths in this poem in a positive way.
good job! -
I love that you have so much love in your heart and such a positive outlook on life. You expressed it so perfectly to others. Hate is something that most people have, even though it would be a so much better world if we didn't. Life is so short, and you're right, we should enjoy every second of it, and then we will be fullfilled.
You are an excellent writer, rhymer, and have an amazing flow. Thank you so much for expressing yourself. =D
