Life Treasured
by Avila
I am a life, a treasure of Life;
A burst of Life, A shade of Life.
I see Life in you, in me;
In little things that grow, I feel a life
that, like a knife, cuts my shape in this world.
Life is given, Life is got, kindly hearts,
Life is sought.
How can we reprove its form, as life is always borne?
How Life's mystery is deeper than night,
Life is a light in the gravest of nights.
Life comes, Life goes;
Like the changing of the years, Life is a treasure
that all must bear.
I see life that comes, with a surge of pain;
One beautiful Life has much to gain.
I see life go,
A shiver, a stillness;
I see the frayed cloak of pain replaced with the fullest.
Life brings blessings, woes and joys;
Life is treasured, Life brings little girls and boys.
I hope you enjoyed it. It really brings out the meaning, my Dad says. Thanks again!
