Life is the most precious thing God has given mankind. The following poem was inspired by life itself.
M any things you have been called and meaning things to many people. You take time to give each person a measure of breath, joy, sadness, laughter, hope, peace, kindness, pain, and suffering. It is a wonderful mixture of the what is' and what is to come'.
T ime has no good or bad, no person or animal,no power or no change. Life is a chance to breath each day. To others it is chance to make a better life for those they love. For some to keep life going from day to day with each sunrise and sunset.
T ake in the moment of laughter and see who is at the door of their hearts, we look inward for the answers to destiny. We read, talk, and ponder why we are the way we are and why. Philosophers have written books and lectured about why life is, yet they can never ask the rhetorical question, Why?
S sometimes we live through others because they are the epitome of what we want to be, and give praise to those that accomplish the extraordinary. We then wonder what they have that we don't have. The ordinary thing that God gives to every man: faith.
O thers live for the moment to exist like the wealthy and frown on the unhealthy. They look at the weak and make predictions how long will it take for them to fall. We wonder about such people when we see them prospering and we are left to fall. Well they have their time and we have ours. How are you going to spend it?
S ee me sharing wisdom and knowledge. Wisdom from where I don't know. Only my life experiences have taught me some things and my relationship with the Heavenly Father has brought me to my knees in prayer and worship.
W ith this in mind I can look into time and space, I can see that if life took its time I want to live for one year and give it my all.
