Life is a gift,
A journey I began,
Without my consent,
Without my knowledge,
I wasn't given the opportunity to choose my family,
I never decided which country to be born,

Life is teacher,
Love by many,
Understood by few,
Experience they say, is the best teacher,


Life is like a story book,
Each day of this journey of life,
Is a new page were we tell our story of life,
Making me the author of my life,
I go through life telling my story,
From page to page,
Chapter to chapter,

Life is meant to be lived,
Life is meant to be loved,
Life is meant to be awesome,
Life is meant to teach us,
Life is a gift to be enjoyed,
Life is a beauty to behold,

Life is what we make out of it,
Life is how I created it for myself,
Life is how I understood it and lived it,
Life is how I make it,
Life is how I designed it for me,

Let's live our life to the fullest,
Let's look at life with courage,
Even when it shoved at us, pain, suffering, discouragement,
Let's us not give up on life,
Life is understood backward but lived forward!

Love is a mystery,
God is love,
A gift to humanity,
God himself loved first,
Christ was a symbol of that love,
Am amazing love,
Beyond words can ever explain,

Our world thirst for love,
We hunger more for it in our daily life,
We preach love,
We profess it,
We confess it,

Is our love selfless?
Is it self seeking,
Is it sacrificial?

Love is kind,
Love is patient,
Love keeps no record of wrongs,
Love forgives,
Love builds,
Love seeks the interest of others,
