Life

 

Life is a lesson taught after the test;
Life is a seeking, a hard mortal quest.
Life is a question, the answer to seek;
Life is a mystery, a riddle oblique.
Life is a stranger, foreign and weird;
Life is a mix of things hoped for and feared.
Life is a gift to use how we please;
Life is a game that is hard on the knees.
Life is a privilege that can disappear;
Life is a story that brings all a tear.
Life is a puzzle, difficult and confusing;
Life is a joke, clever and amusing.
Life is a river flowing on to the sea;
Life is a pitstop on the race Eternity.
Life is a journey bound only by time -
Life is the reason that I wrote this rhyme.
