Just by being thoughtful of life; and the way it is for many, this poem comes alive!
LIFE Life is like a beautiful rose There is no cause to suppose It doesn’t come to stay With time it will fade away It’s with us wherever we stray But upon it death shall prey It’s just a matter of which day When upon it death shall lay Life can be hurtful to anyone It doesn’t favourite anyone It can be quite hard for some For others it can be awesome It not a forever sure to keep As from everything it will creep It's more like a hill very steep To climb one has to sit and weep Life didn’t promise to be easy Good for whom it’s nice and cozy And sadness for most of the rest Those who want is their daily cry In life there are many tough tests Some people may struggle less Yet there is none as I will guess Lived life without a time of test All rights reserved.

Life is a gift from God and we should thank Him every day for all He has given us and done for us. Many times standing by us in our time of need.

Life, it didn't promise
to be easy
So we should live it
while we still can.

WELL DONE, CLARENCE. IT DEPENDS ON WHICH ROAD WE ARE ON; THE STRAIGHTER AND NARROWER THE ROAD, THE MORE DIFFICULT THE TESTS. BUT, IN THE END, SO WORTH IT! THANKS FOR SHARING. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS

A very life filling poem of life. As my brother and I learned two days ago, it can be cut short in the blink of an eye.

life is full of joys,
and life is full of hurts.
but life is for living,
for better or worse.

Yes life is very unpredictable...my Dad used to say it was good we could not see 'around the corner'....it is the nature of life and being human...valleys and mountains...
A thought provoking piece of writing...

...Well, I'll have to say to some who were born with a silver spoon in their mouths life is a party, life is good, and everything handed over to them on a silver platter; but to some others life is a struggle all through.

However, happiness is what we can create for ourselves no matter what circumstances we were born in.
