Life is cherishing the moments that love brings
In generosity of the heart and the small things
The joys of fulfilment, but the timeless waiting
when grief befalls, for the return of laughter to ring
Life is in dreams and wishes for goodness to reign
In the small gifts of giving to ease the pains
In time spent in reminiscence with near and dear ones
In sharing sorrows and expecting brighter suns
Life is in detesting war, crime and poverty of spirit
To be an example for others with the determination of grit
To teach that life is not about selfish one-upmanship
But to live verily in equanimity and friendship
Life involves losing the ones we love to death
The memories and the grieving that us do test
To carry on and accept, and still love with zest
In spite of the vacant spaces of loss that bear loneliness
