Life's Presence

EmmaR1

Life’s Presence

Life is brief
As sudden as a baby's first gasping breath
and gone faster than an elderly man's last shaking exhale

It goes by much different speeds for us

But in the whirlwind
And chaos
There is peace
Andhappiness
Life is riddled
And hope
All often overlooked
By the troubles in the world

Though life’s presence
Is always there

There is love
A warm feeling of pure ecstasy
And the sound of laughter
That fills a household

Those moments are what define us
And it is what will always
Be left of us

Though life is brief
You legacy lives on
Through your loved ones
And whose lives you touched

It is true
We destroy
Hurt
And cause sorrow

But we create
Cherish
We flourish
Thriving and growing
Causing joy and peace

So when you worry about how your life is slipping away
Know that death is just a new beginning
A new day
A new life
Live, love, and be loved

And as the sun sets
Close your eyes and rest
Because you have to be ready
For when the sun will rise again
