BEAUTIFUL

by btillis100

BEAUTIFUL

Life is a BEAUTIFUL place

So BEAUTIFUL that it shouldn’t be taken away

No matter the struggles of harm and nature

So many people die each and everyday

Maybe because of their sins, maybe because of shame

Maybe because they thought life was just a game

Or

Maybe because of a murder of an old lady whose life was beyond extended, maybe it was a person whose life was taken unintendedly

 Maybe because HER life was full of sorrow and lament

These are the probable causes of decent

ALL I’m saying is that…

LIFE is LOVE

          LOVE is HAPPINESS

                   Why should we be happy if we can’t stay?
