LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL

** This poem was inspired by a friend in need and 
by the Holocaust movie "Life is Beautiful"**

Life is Beautiful

Life is for living

for laughing

for loving

Life is a gift

Life is for giving

for being happy

for being loved

Life is Wonderful

life is for smiling

for recognizing

for observing

Life is for Seeing

life is whats around you

everything surrounding you

and everyone that loves you

Life is for hearing

Life is the voices, the sounds

for hearing whispered words

of comfort, joy, and question

Life is for smelling

Life is for the scent of rain

For wet earth and dewy plants

For aromatic ecstasy

Life is for tasting

Life is for a first kiss

For gourmet palatable delicacies

For hunger, thirst, and fulfillment

Life is for touch

Life is for feeling

For numb, cold, and warmth

For a sting and an embrace

Life is for Feeling

Life is being wanted, and needed

For wanting, and Needing

For knowing you are loved

Life is for mistakes

Life is for learning from them

For starting over

For second chances

Life is for Emotion

Life is tears,and ache, and loneliness

For missing and hurting

For recovery and

Life is for learning

Life is for knowing what matters

For understanding

For being understood

Life is for knowing

Life is for pondering

For realizing

For at least one person knows how you feel

Life is for listening

Life is more than hearing, seeing

For comprehension

For happiness

Life is for surviving

Life is knowing you can make it

For letting yourself have help

For helping everyone you can

Life is for enduring

Life is for persevering

For grasping what you know and love

For never letting go

Life is for Holding on

life is holding on to life itself

For questions and for prayers

For Answers

Life is for Living

Life is for you, and those you love

For God, For Christ

For living your destiny
