Live Poem by Dennisa Davidson

Life is a flower that blooms but once
From bud to blossom
Falling petals to bony seed
Then the flower is gone
But is remembered by the seed

Let your flower blossom
Let your perfume spread
Don’t break the stem
Choose life, why death?

Sometimes I guess things just keep going wrong
Life becomes a gloomy song
Dark clouds and thunder are all you see
‘There can be no hope for me’
You don’t know why you still breathe

There is a valley over the hill
There is a place where you can be still
There can be tomorrow after today
Don’t let today make tomorrow too late

It’s a choice you make
You can have another take
Clear the darkness from your head
Let yourself walk the road ahead

Tomorrow you may have a plan
To today’s trouble you may not even give a damn
Take courage, hold on to today
Troubles come but they also go away
Give yourself another day

It’s a choice you choose to make
You can have another take
The sun that is down today will tomorrow rise again
Live another day and see its light
Why choose death when you can choose life?
