Live, not just survive.

Why can't we simply live life as it comes 

Why there's this madness in some 

To end their race half their way 

And wishing in grave to lay 

 

Isn't life a gift for living 

While others enjoy misgiving 

And few respire untill ending 

Their only hope is glooming 

 

Take each day as it arrives 

Many chapters old won't survive 

New ones will add to give a perfect view 

From death bed when it comes to you 

 

Hold on to every straw of life 

It could be the only thing to strife 

Why waste dreaming  impossibility

While those at hand one think silly 

 

There're many struggling 

For a single breathing 

And many recklessly 

Go wasting breathlessly 

 

How ungrateful we are to almighty 

When he gifts us from His bounty 

We throw it away, gift rejected

And when gone we cry dejected 

 

To all who are still alive 

Happily live, not survive 

For its not survival that's for us best 

Rather making the most of our every breath

Right on! As my own late brother remarked not long before his passing: life is for living. How right he was - and is! Let us welcome each day as a gift, a free pass to whatever we can make of it. We
can take so much for granted but life shouldn't be treated that way.
It is - good and bad - something we are "gifted", so let's rejoice and
make the best of it within our ability to do so.
