hey that's life

living

You know that feeling?
It's on the tip of your tongue
When you know that you know
Yet you can't quite get it
That is life! that's right life

You know right from wrong
And you know left from right
But when asked a math problem
Like, whats thirty plus seventeen
You need to think always think
No matter if you know it
Or if your mind draws blank
That is life! that's right life

When you try so hard
To lose ten or so pounds
Yet you somehow gain ten
You ate the right foods
You exersized hard
That is life! that's right life

but you know what else
when you smile, or laugh
when your happy, ecstatic
or even just calm... well
that too is life, and often
that's what you need to remember
that no matter what
there will be another smile
and always another laugh
as long as you live!

Author's Note

I like life...

Today I took a moment and thought about stuff... I could have died SO many times throughout my life... and still I'm always happy, and as weird as this may sound I think I appreciate life much more because I only have one... used to wish it could be lie a video game where you can just save and restart there if you mess up but now I realize.... it wouldn't be as special if that's how it worked... I love life!

I love life, too, and feel your energy in this poem which made me read faster and faster...I had a fun experience and felt like I was a part of your words. Thanks for sharing.

This is great! When I was a child my favorite thing to say was "That's Life." So, this hits home for me, and brings that mindset back to me.

Life is kinda complicated, but we completely understand how it goes. Its ways is quite familiar us. No matter how routinely the activities are every day, it still keeps a lot of surprises. Life works so beautifully that we always want to live.

this is beautiful...
i liked this part..
"You know that feeling?
It's on the tip of your tongue
When you know that you know
Yet you can't quite get it
That is life! that's right life"
and i never really thought about it that way before...but its true. and yea, i liked that... i think people can learn things from writing. like this, for example.
and this gave me something to think about too...
"that no matter what
there will be another smile
and always another laugh
as long as you live! "
and i never really thought about life that way before. how there will be another laugh or another smile.
i like you writing a lot... its very inspirational and cheerful... keep writing please:)

I love this. Heck, we all are risk takers. I've must have died a million times and came back to life. Really. Maybe I am Jesus after all? Hahaha. Great that you love life! You only got one- gotta make it the best one yet! Dont sleep in- you sleep when you're dead. Don't lie down because your tired stand because you won't always be able to! I love this I can relate very, very well!
