What is Life?
By Valerie Bowden
January 2025
Life is perpetual motion. Life is a hard won race.
Life is a challenge, it’s a gamble, it’s a State of Grace.
Life can be hardship, it can bring pain, it can be filled with dread..
Life is with us come what may:-at least until we’re dead.
Life passes by so quickly, the years speed ever on.
Life is a continuum of events; experienced, then gone!
Life is what we make of it, selecting the path to tread.
Life can good, it can be bad, filled with hope or fear instead.
Life is meted out to us: we have no power to change
Some aspects of our way of life. There is so great a range
Of problems that encompass us, that test us, make us think.
Life moves on so quickly:: you could miss it, if you blink!.
A good reminder to live in the here and now. Thank you.
All the paradoxes of life. Short but action packed
Poignant reflections.
Som true and the shame is we don't realise it until most of it has gone!
