LIFE

Life is a feast – devour it.
Life is a festival – celebrate it.

Life is a genie – free it.
Life is a firefly – capture it.

Life is a sea – explore it.
Life is a rainbow – color it.

Life is a fog – penetrate it.
Life is a dream – imagine it.

Life is a lover – ravish it.
Life is a garden – cultivate it.

Life is a violin – play it.
Life is a novel – create it.

Life is a crucible – ennoble it.
Life is a bogeyman – confront it.

Life is a crapshoot – accept it.
Life is a marathon – complete it.

Life is a candle – light it.
Life is a sacrament – revere it.

Life is a child – embrace it.
Life is a guardian angel – trust it!
