Keep your spirit alive

A description of life

Life is not full of sorrow
Dreams created within life
Represents dreams created
To some life and dreams can be empty
Accept life and dreams, enjoy them
Keep your spirit alive

See your life
It's real, it's opportunities
Keep your spirit alive
Don't let sorrow grab hold
Don't let your soul be trapped

Tomorrow I was told, does not exist until it gets here
Life and today is present, here and now
Be alert keep your spirit alive
Don't waste time expecting sorrow
Life and today is present, here and now

Time runs away
Day by day we loose part of our life
Day by day our life is getting shorter

Our life is a rest haven
In the worlds biggest battle
We might get tired and rest
Be creative, be a hero in life
Don't surrender, be brave, face life's battle

Past is already passed
The future might be bright
But don't rely on it
Living in the present is how we should live
My heart now is full of faith
Faith in God
God has rewarded me

I have followed footprints
Followed examples
My life has now grown
I have grown
In spiritual pursuits

I have hope
I've climbed mountains
Not living in sorrow, or despair
Alive, vibrant, with life

Face any situation in life
Be brave, do not stop
In your pursuits
Continue in faith

Amen

I've had some tremendous help in my life over the past few years and trying to put it all in perspective has been a challenge

I understand, we all have challenges, but I think the most important thing about challenges is that it makes you stronger when you have conquered them.

[Rudi J.P. Lejaeghere]

This poem is a plea, a prayer to live, to live life as if every day should be our last. We have to enjoy each day and not wait till tomorrow, because it could be too late. I agree for 100 percent. Life is too beautiful to let it flow away. Keep writing B.J., because you have something to say that is worth reading.
