An Ode to Life

By Katya Pledger 

Life is a blessing
a gift from God.
God created life
He breathed his life into man
and man lives.

Life begins in the womb
and it takes leaps
from a baby’s first cry
to the last breath
life is full of leaps.

Life is an adventure
we learn as we go
life has ups and downs
it has twists and turns
and we learn as we go.

Life brings sunshine
life showers rain
when life gives lemons
make lemonade
life is all things happy and sad.

Life is a cherished thing
it is snapshots of memories
memories of joy, laughter, peace
memories of sadness, grief, ache
life is precious.

Life spent with friends is sweet
life spent with family is meaningful
life spent with Christ is eternal
life is a blessing
a true gift from above!
