Ode to Life
January 5, 2013
A tiny baby cries its first hello
A mother holds it close as her own
Tears come through the night
A child smiles and waves goodbye
She is in heaven now
An old man lies in a hospital with everyone gathered
He says he is ready to die
Life is but a vapor
A flower petal easily broken
Life is a feeling we have
A legacy we leave behind to be followed
Life is when we here a baby cry
Life is when we stare into newborn eyes
Our lives don’t make us
We make our lives
It is when we stop living in life
And start living on life
