Life.

a old poem i wrote when i was little :p

Life....life is everywhere, on the ground in the air..Why should we care?

That is because life is a beautiful dream that gives you happiness and love,

Life is something that keeps us together for a long, long time.

However, there is also a dark side of life, with crime and tear..

Something that nobody wants to hear.

Though you do not have to think that way, you cannot change life as it is..it keeps it will stay.

Life is beautiful...if you think in the right way.

Author's Note

For a twelve year old to have this written was pure genius... already having a deep philosophy of Life. "Life is beautiful... .if you think in the right way."The picture of making life be what we see of it, the idea of it having a dark side yet not ignoring that fact but accepting it with a change of attitude, of mind. Really captivating.

Thank you very much! :)

This poem is actually deep on a spiritual level (not religious), and that fact that you wrote it when you were 12 is astounding. It has a good flow to it, too. I love how you understood that life is what you make it, when most kids were not concerned with such thoughts.

thank you ^^ it's because of the experiences i already had on a young age.

There is a direct cadence to this poem which provides its true beauty: both a factor of the age of the then-author, and what I assume is having learned English as a second language. There is a knowledge of the technicalities of grammar which analyses the sentences into a sweet simplicity.
