Life is a gift for us to enjoy.
For us to treasure and not destroy.
Some people take it for granted
Others treat it like a seed just planted
It is a gift that keeps on giving
Full of surprises, some unwanted, some great
Some may even be fate.
It brings us happiness and sometimes downhill falls
But that is what makes it such a unique gift after all.
