The gift of life

Author: Ayesha Irfan

Life is something we should cherish,

We never know when we will perish,

The way we live is up to us,

With a negative or a plus,

Life is something we have been blessed,

The choice is yours and choose your quest,

Years go by and we continue to age,

Until we approach our final page,

The life when we get to understand,

Death converts our body to sand,

Death is not the greatest loss in life,

Loss is when life inside you dies while you’re alive,

Live each and every single day,

Don’t be afraid to follow your dreams,

Your time is here and many don’t accept it,

Live for today,

Leave tomorrow alone,

As for past just let it go,

Enjoy this event called Life
