As good as it gets

As good as it gets

A Poem by Brook Hughes

In life...

You get a family, and friends

You have people that love you...

And care about you

And that is as good as it gets!

If you're lucky...

You can get,

A fairytale...

Or a happily ever after.

Then when that is over

You grow old

Lose everybody that loved and cared about you

Then you die.

That's life!

You're born

You live

You die

That's it!

That is as good as it gets!

Making the hard truth and reality so all you can do is live life as it is.

It's true, but I believe that you live on no matter what. Nicely written tho!

well that is life in a nutshell, but what matters is what you do with it. Try not to be so depressed my friend, hell I'm young like you(im 16) but I'm no optimist. I'm a realist that just means I know that the world is a cesspool of greed and hate but that doesn't mean I despair and bemoan my faith I just seek to change what can be changed. Nice writing a tad bit depressing for Christmas time but it's alright.

There is more to life then you know young one.
Nobody lives forever and who would want to...
What we do have are treasured memories of the
good times we had, family and friends and a life
in which we can make good or bad because we
have the choice to. Just think of it this way, there
will alway6s be somebody worse off then you and I'm
sure you had heard of that before...So keep your
chin up :)

ah, but the people that love you are the ones that make it good. and even when those people die, their memories are what keep us happy and wanting to live.... at least for me
