What Life Is
Life is full of many contradictions.
Sometimes the warmest dawn
can feel cold in spirit.
And sometimes the sun shines brightest
on the most bitter winter day.
Life should seek warmth.
It should seek the love and companionship
of like souls.
It should search for the smile
in the face of tears.
It should search for friendship’s warm glow
in the midst of darkness
Life was never meant to be lived in solitary.
It was always meant to be shared.
So in life,
Give yourself that second chance.
Open up to new friendships.
Give the benefit of a doubt
when you aren’t certain.
Live life to the fullest.
Not in what you DO, but
in what you GIVE to others.
And in doing so,
you’ll find that you’ve received more from life
than you ever expected.
