"Life Filled with Worth"

The light of the sun is growing in the skies.
It helps to banish the
Sleep from our
Eyes.

If only our time would grow longer as the
Day grows too, but alas our lives grow
Shorter with each day that is
New.

We are such finite creatures, here on this Earth,
We must make the best of this life;
be sure it is filled with
Worth.

The good we do, the sharing and
Caring is a noble cause, so be
Noble in your life, though we all have
Flaws.

No one is perfect, though that is a noble goal.
Even though a diamond is brilliant,
It started out as
Coal.

With each step, with each trial we face, we
Must learn the lesson of life’s
Race.

So that one day we too,
Will life’s pains
Outpace.

Do your best each day,
Carry on with the task; it’s all that is needed;
All you can be
Asked.

Bring light into the
World as you go today,
Let it shine along your
Way.
