Life's a Wonder

Life's a Wonder

A Poem by Rita L. Sev
"

For Doc...

"

Life’s a wonder,

get up and go

the more we do,

the more we’ll know

climb up the mountains

by starting with hills ~

a stumble might lead

to some wonderful thrills

follow your passion,

never give in

every day that you breathe

is a day to begin

Life is a wonder,

the sweetest of joys

hold your head high,

make jubilant noise!

Life is a wonder! There are just so many facets to it!

my fave part: "a stumble might lead
to some wonderful thrills"-
that's a great sentiment and often very, very true!

Thank you so much, Ees! Yes, some stumbles take us on different and marvelous paths! :)
Climb up the mountains
by starting with hills -- great lines, my friend.

This has such a positive tone; today I needed a read like this. I think that all too often we, as humans, tend to bite off more than we can chew, and then we become discouraged, but as you so pointedly stated, every day that we are breathing is a blessing. Well done.

Hi Rita. A beautiful write. Uplifting and encouraging. Skillfully crafted free style metered rhyming poetry which enjoy. Good imagery, flow and tone. Line to line transition and breaks are well done. Nice rhythm and use of enjambment. Good depth of feeling. I especially like these lines:
"climb up the mountains
by starting with hills ~
a stumble might lead
to some wonderful thrills" - this is a wonderful picture of encouragement and 'stick to it" to reach dreams. Good closing lines. Well penned and a most enjoyable read. Write on!

You're welcome Rita. Have a good night.
Actions not words... the world is full of wonders and to never experience any of them is a wasted life.
