"Ode to life"

You may not realize,

But this is important.

I know so much

Yet, I know so little

I know to laugh

Letting the bell music flow,

Like wind flowing in the air

Dancing trough leafy trees.

To spread my wings

And soar up high

Experiencing life

Like a newborn pup

So full of wonder.

I know to be kind and just,

But to also know the bad

Like day and night

Playing tag all the time

Take a risk

And take the plunge

Falling down so fast

To the icy sea.

And when you reach pointy rocks

Fly once again

Growing old, such is time

Sit back in rickety chair.

Swinging back and forth

Eyes glazed in memories.

Think back to the start

Smile sweetly and recall.

All the blazing fun.

You only live once

So act like there’s no tomorrow

Life is a precious jewel.
