Life

Alone I sat by the window sill

watching the stars in the speckled sky

it dawns on me great nature's will

like the visions of my life.

Life's a wonder and it is wonderful

like a bridge that leads to no ends.

Life is full of challenges

of sacrifices, all inherent

in its secret missions.

My life is filled with excitements

with loneliness and boredom

just as sure.

The times I spent in all events

are memories I fondly treasure

successes and achievements

I'm proud to gain.

Though failures bring sadness and so much pain

the realities of life are relative.

Some gains, some losses

bring joy and grieves.

Like a child am I, though big am I

still groping in the dark to seek the light.

With a will that's strong

a mind's grown wise

I will learn and discover more from life.
