Life has an unfortunate reputation
As far too many things are blamed on life.
A bad day or lost loved one.
All terminate to the problems with life.

Life being the thicker skinned.
Willingly holds back its tears.
Wishing us civilians could comprehend
How much he does for our benefits.

If time was spent though, reevaluating how much life has done for us
We would see how foolish our complaints sound.
Without life there wouldn’t be days for us.
Our dependence is solely on this powerful life.

For the few that punish life too hard,
Are kicked out and sent to life’s brother.

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."

"Though much is taken, much abides; and though we are not now that strength which in old days moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are; one equal temper of heroic hearts, made weak by time and fate, but strong in will to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield." -Lord Alfred Tennyson
