The glass seemed half full Yet is was also half empty I didn’t know How to feel Sometimes life was productive; sometimes it wasn’t At times I coasted along at a plateau that was just  Average When we are young we look up to adulthood in awe We climb the stairs of LIFE with Impatience Wishing the journey was shorter; quicker Yet when we reach the

Place of responsibility It is not what we expected Sometimes we may wish we can descend those stairs again but it was a One way trip We produce the fruit of life who are our children and it is Magical The seeds blossom and grow As we nurture them Despite their imperfections we love them They are ours to adore They are one of things that make this risky life FRUITFUL We sip from the chalice of memories that tastes of bittersweet nostalgia Essence of life That is pleasing to the tongue yet  Burns in our stomachs Sometimes we feel as if our best times have Slipped behind us Sometimes they lurk on the road  AHEAD Life is a journey that shapes us as we learn through trial and error and those Mistakes can be caustic Yet they are what helps us LEARN Helps us GROW We discover some people are cruel beyond compare Some kind beyond measure  Things may be easy and yet they may not be and it challenges our strengths Our ENDURANCE We work hard to achieve our dreams and sometimes happiness just falls into our laps unexpectedly  Sometimes we just need to realize Our time on this earth is a beautiful gift Yet limited Life is a FRUITFUL RISK worth taking
