If I Could Say One Thing: It Would Be....

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

The life you save may be your own, as you ponder that life you roam. Don't hesitate, for if you do, nothing but waste will become of you. Sit but do stand find equality in two, avoid all opportunities to silently rue. Life is so quick and passes with a whim, ascend to eternity touching every limb. Remember your parents for they were the first, to quench and eliminate every thirst. This has been said with language in verse, but life cannot not be so easily rehearsed. When things look down and sorrow impedes, remember to look up at glistening beads. Atleast once in your life you'll become forlorn, but never forget another life has been born, and resist all temptation to constantly mourn. The sun will rise from the west every day, allowing opportunity to follow the path that you lay. This has been said with language in rhyme, but life is not passionately benign.
