The Bestowed Blessing of Life (Poem)

Acknowledging the essence of life as being so temporary,

And that with the blink of an eye a soul can cease to exist,

In this earthly realm that we've established as the our universe,

Is the truth that gives us hope and fortitude,

But also the truth that gives us limitations and dismay.

A window of opportunity to define one's meaning,

A privilege to construct the value of individualism,

A freedom to create an everlasting identity,

All lies within the brief reality that we call life.

A life given to live not merely to exist,

But to live in the abundant blessing of being alive.
