The Wonder of Life
By Nila D
Life is a breath of air,
Life is the growth of plants,
Life is the ocean crashing its waves,
Life is the shifting of clouds,
Life is the sound of a young girl's laugh,
Life is the spark in her eyes,
Life is the rise and the set of the sun,
And life is the moon shining high.
Life seems so simple and yet so very hard,
As we wake to the sun and rest to the moon,
And as we watch the planets turn,
Life is a road and a road we must take,
And plant seeds as we walk along,
For soon those seeds will grow to trees shining in the morning sun,
Life is a gift,
And a gift we must share,
With friends and with family everywhere,
The past is the past and the future will come,
But the present is shared with everyone.
