Dear Life


Dear Life,

You are known for your balance of light and darkness.

You are full of  many beautiful things as well as dangerous things.

You have also proven that you can be short or long lived.

You are a never ending game of surprises with every roll of the dice.

You have given people great opportunities,but have also proven you can change it in an instant.

You have thrown many curve balls at me and for that I thank you.

You have shown me the way of the world for every bad thing that happens you bring something beautiful to the surface.

You have shown me that you are precious and that time never stops.

You have also shown me to enjoy the little things,but also to embrace the dark ones.

You are a teacher teaching us your lessons some more painful than others,but necessary.

If there's anything that you've taught me it's that we are running on borrowed time.

I tend to live you to the fullest with no regrets.

I will be everything I want to be and more,so thank you for showing me what it means to live.

 

Yours Truly,

Chandler R.
