life is something to adore
how long we live is unsure
each of us is time poor
with no chance to buy more
so priorities become essential
those lives needlessly tossed
violence suicide war lost
humanity bears that cost
live to your fullest potential

thanks Mich … been having major WP probs for weeks now and they haven’t responded to my formal complaint.
So may take a break for a while … lost the joy of blogging when it takes about an hour to post or comment …

There is so much we can be
There is so much we can do
If we just believe in the possibility
And that yes we can do it too

I’d say Frank is living your poem, “ador(ing) ” life and all, as though he has your advice in mind. Or is it vice-versa?
How often is Frank at his “post?” Did you just happen to snap his pic when you say him, or does he cheer passers-by more frequently?

Respecting what we can do, sometimes even stretching just a tad –
that is living, that is life 🙂

Pretty much sums it up I think. Need to live each day “as it is our first day.” A day that starts full of greatest potential possible. Get up every morning knowing that simple thought can change how we approach life, living and those around us.

exactly Glen that morning motivation/gratitude really sets the tone for our day, it’s so essential 🙂

Very nice and your poem imitates well the pattern in Tennyson’s poem. Good point in emphasizing “time poor”.
