A Gathering Of Life

IT IS NOT JUST A PASSING OF YEARS
BUT THE RIPENING OF LIVING WISDOM
IT IS NOT JUST A TOLL TAKEN
BUT A WELL OF RECEIVING AND GIVING
IT'S NOT JUST A PEOPLE COME AND GONE
BUT THE HEART'S MANY FACES AND FORMS
NOT JUST THE WINDS OF CHANGE AND CHANCE
BUT  A WEATHERING STALLS AND STORMS
IT IS NOT JUST THE LUCK OF SURVIVAL
BUT THE BRAVE CONQUERING OF STRIFE
IT IS NOT, AFTER ALL , JUST THE PASSING OF YEARS,
BUT A GATHERING OF LOVE AND LIFE.

I CHOSE THIS POEM BECAUSE IT SPEAKS ABOUT MY HEART AND LIFE AS WELL. I'VE GONE SO MUCH TRIALS ,PROBLEMS AND CHALLENGES IN MY LIFE AND I LEARNED FROM IT. I GAINED KNOWLEDGE AND WISDOM, I KEEP THE FAITH IN HIM AND TO MYSELF ALSO. AND FOR THOSE PEOPLE WHO ARE ALWAYS THERE FOR ME,ESPECIALLY TO MY EVER SUPPORTIVE FAMILY.

THESE STANZA OR LINES RELATED TO ME BECAUSE YEARS PASS I'M STILL HERE HE BLESSED ME. I STILL LIVE HERE WITH THE PEOPLE I LOVE SO MUCH! WHATEVER I HAVE , I WANT TO SHARE IT TO THE PEOPLE. I DON'T WANT TO FEEL THEM THAT I HAD GONE BEFORE. I THANK GOD FOR GIVING ME SO MUCH BLESSINGS, HAPPINESS AND GRACES. MY LIFE IS JUST A BORROWED AND I WILL TREASURE IT UNTIL MY LAST BREATH. THIS IS WHAT WE CALLED LIFE.
