Life Experience

Life is fluid, it ebbs and flows.

Without it, our path would not unfold.

What comes and goes may fade away,

but our mark is left, what else to say?

 

I live and breathe, as do the trees.

Being kind while no one sees.

To learn and to guide, to discover and to seek,

or to wilt and to cower, and become too weak?

 

Observable Life is a fighting force,

putting each of us on our course.

What you call God, I see each day.

The plants and animals along the way.

 

But even with all this in mind,

thoughts go on, with some I find,

that with the bumps and scrapes of life,

it's easy to submit to strife.

 

In the end, all that remains,

a person scarred with focused aim.

I'll scream, I'll fight, I'll win like I must.

For Life is truly, boom or bust.
