Here's My First Poem

“What Makes Life Worth Living?”

By:  Kristin Cox

As I stepped into the smoldering sun,

I was greeted with a kiss from the sun’s radiant rays.

I was reminded of all of the little living things around me

that make life worth living.

Everything from the delightful daffodils dancing in the wind,

to the swaying of the weeping willow trees,

to the silver sound of the birds chirping,

makes life worth living.

One can appreciate the merry march of the ants in a line,

because they walk with pride.

One can appreciate swimming ducks in a row,

because they paddle with a purpose.

Even these things make life worth living.

Beauty is everywhere and can be found in unexpected places.

All you have to do is open your eyes, mind, and heart.

Stop reading for a moment...  Listen... Breathe…

It is YOU that makes life worth living.
