You can only be as great as you allow yourself to be. ~me


A good life is like a waterfall
sometimes rambling in the rapids' fall or
flowing gently with the current,
A good life is a cloud
roaming and searching in the sky
A good life is a dream
you don't want to wake up from,
your desires brought to reality
A good life is a chocolate chip cookie
warm with comforting gooeyness, fresh from the oven
A good life is like taking a walk
the overwhelming peace of a
break when you need it most
A good life is a flower
disarrayed in a meadow but blooms into a
unique form
A good life is a balloon,
it requires a push of effort to fill it completely but
when it's done can be passed along from one person to another
A good life is talent,
everyone's born with it but
it's developed at it's own pace
to reach it's goals
A good life is a holiday
a time to celebrate and be with loved ones
A good life is a story
written and revised but has no or many endings
A good life is music
taking you to the musician's thoughts
uplifting and connecting,
A good life is a lesson
though mistakes may be made,
learning from them conquers it
And most importantly a good life has no limits.

Mady, I like the positivity that was in your poem! It's happy! Just from a writer's standpoint, to make it stronger, I would take out the "likes" and "most importantly". That way you are more direct with your statements that a good life IS something instead of LIKE that something. Keep writing! I like when you post these. :)
