Life Poem by Jeff Stoddart

Life

Rating: 4.8


Life is what we make it, a cliché but so true
Non the less a truism, it applies to me and you
Our glass may be half empty or our glass may be half full
Whichever way you look at it, it's really beautiful

We all can learn with hindsight, we all can think 'why me'
We all can turn the other cheek when it's easier not to see
We all can take the easy route, and all can live the lie
But what you really can't do from birth until you die
Is kid yourself, and not be true to what you feel inside
For when you look into your heart there's nowhere you can hide
And that's the only way to live, the only way to be
The journey starts with just one step, take it.....and you'r free.

Really an insightful philosophical reflection on life written with clarity of thought and mind. A work of an intricate mind.

Beautifully expressed. We can kid the world but not ourselves and to look inside our hearts is the only way to be free. A powerful message very nicely written.
