(or, Life is a gift; treat it as such)
My first non-rhyming poem. Enjoy.
Live every day
As it were your last
Treat everyone
As if you held them dear
Love your neighbour
As you�ve been taught
Life is a gift
Treat it as such
Don�t see the world
Through a glass darkly
Hope springs eternal
Do not despair
One little person
Can make a difference
Life is a gift
Treat it as such
Take life for granted
And never know what you have
Be kind and gentle
Considerate and careful
Open your heart
And let others in
Life is a gift
Treat it as such
Care for the children
Shield them from harm
Love your family
Let them protect you
Smile and laugh
Giggle and snicker
Life is a gift
Treat it as such
Make sure that you�re not
Hiding from the world
Deal with the cruelty
By spreading the cheer
Make friends where you go
Forgive those who don�t
Life is a gift
Treat it as such
