Life poems instill values and
lessons in life that others can take with them for similar
trials and tribulations that others may experience in a life
time. Inspiration can be found throughout life and such poetry
help make an effort to share the wisdom found in living life
more tangible for the reader. Many times the only way to learn
is to experience learning in life’s struggles and taking note
from others that have experienced life and expressed it through
their poetry.

"Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing happened. " ~ Winston Churchill
"Behavior is what a man does, not what he thinks, feels, or believes." ~ Emily Dickinson
"A great man is always willing to be little." ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Poets are masters of us ordinary men, in knowledge of the mind, because they drink at streams which we have not yet made accessible to science." ~ Sigmund Freud
"The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both." ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
"No man was ever yet a great poet, without being at the same time a profound philosopher. For poetry is the blossom and the fragrancy of all human knowledge, human thoughts, human passions, emotions, language." ~ Samuel Taylor Coleridge

I've been sitting around this life for years,
Not enough laughs and too many tears.
Trying to figure out where it all went,
These wasted years that I have spent.
Searching for something to go beyond,
Life's a stone skipping across a pond.
At the last skip, it hits with a splash,
Down the stone sinks, gone in a flash.
Pushing and pulling, it's tearing apart,
Poking and prodding an underused heart.
This dark velvet curtain that hides my soul,
Living this life has taken its toll.
In a flash of bright light, the curtain is torn,
Tumbling down all tattered and worn.
Revealing new life, a child within,
Born free of hate, of suffering and sin.
Now my eyes see what has never been told,
Striving forth happy, confident and bold.
Into a world that's unfamiliar but friendly,
Into this new life my spirit will send me.
Living and laughing, loving it all,
I stood myself up and answered the call.
The darkness has gone, replaced by the light,
I gave up the darkness with hardly a fight.
I've been sitting around this life for years,
With laughter aplenty and hardly a tear.
Now I can see just where it all went,
Cherish every moment of this new life I've spent.
