Living the Unpredictable

Life is a lesson we all must learn.

Today the sun may shine on us

and tomorrow the rain drops may burn.

Life has its questions for the wise

and unwise to see.

Most times they both don’t

always solve their mystery.

One can’t endure this life,

unless they love when there is hate.

One can’t grow stronger,

unless they appreciate.

One can’t move on, until

they forgive the unforgotten.

One must enjoy this life fully, until

it’s time, for their precious bones 

to decay and become rotten.

umm...i love the feel of this write

it tantalizes, while it prophesizes! And all the better that it imparts practical wisdom

Are we not all endeavoring to embrace our mortality while we yet strive to embrace our immortality?

I like the simple play of words:

"One can’t endure this life,
unless they love when there is hate.
One can’t grow stronger,
unless they appreciate.
One can’t move on, until
they forgive the unforgotten."

what makes really good poetry and prose is the capacity to evoke an emotional response from ones reader..."adequate technique to evoke an emotional impact" one great writer said

What I value in this poem is the interplay between intellectual philosophizing and simple poetic rhyming

Very nice, you have a great potential I hope to see you realize fully!
