The life we have

A little positive motivation to end one week and start another.

.

The life we have

.

To love the life we have, that is the art of living

To share what life has taught, that is the art of giving

.

To look with tender eyes upon the years now past

To live each age we reach, to play the part we’re cast

.

To live our life intensely and look time in the eye

And not to fear its passing or wring our hands and cry

.

To learn the art of life is more than just surviving

To learn to love our life, that is the art of thriving

.

  1. I love that one. I have just printed it out, so I can stick it up on the board or put it on my bedside table.
    Thanks Rilla.

  2. This poem should be chiselled in stone, Rilla. It’s the first thing that should greet us in the morning and the last thing we should read before we sleep. Thank you.

    Love, Kate
