Gift Of Life Poem by Frederick Nellist

Life a gift some say a curse
Maybe it's intended that way
All that glitters is not gold
At least that's what I'm told.

Approach life with an open mind
First you can count up to ten
Life for you may not be fine
You live yours I'll live mine.

Be aware problems will follow
To be solved as you go along
Try living without complaining
No room in life for abstaining.

Always put your best foot forward
But don't wear another mans shoes
Along side other people you love
Smile and they'll give you a shove.

Whatever happens is for a reason
Life will bring woe and pleasures
All put there for you to confront
Have a little faith enjoy the hunt.
