LIfe

Life A single word A short glimpse of time in the universe Yet all we have here on earth Lives begin every day While just as many are over. Accomplishments can be infinite As can be failures Paths can change And things can go as planned But life is ours Life A single word Yet it surrounds us at all times Nature is beaming with life But so commonly bypassed The reason? Lives are moving too fast to see it Life A single word A thousand ways to celebrate it Parties Laughter Family Friends Love But perhaps the best way To pretend like you’re going to lose it Life A single word With so many meanings For some it is a prison For others it is a gift For many it is a step to something greater Life A single word One big scavenger hunt For the best college For the best job For the biggest promotion For the best partner For the best home Yet the hardest thing for so many people to find is Happiness Life A single word Countless experiences Some good Some bad Some moral Some immoral Some determined by our race Some determined by our gender Some determined by our wealth Some determined by our sexuality Some determined by us Some determined for us Life A single word Countless definitions Yet a single opportunity To make your mark on the world And a single opportunity To be you.
