Life's a Wonder

For Doc...

Life’s a wonder,

get up and go

the more we do,

the more we’ll know

climb up the mountains

by starting with hills ~

a stumble might lead

to some wonderful thrills

follow your passion,

never give in

every day that you breathe

is a day to begin

Life is a wonder,

the sweetest of joys

hold your head high,

make jubilant noise!

It's beautiful and balances Life's a Bummer perfectly. It is nice to read such an uplifting piece.

Thanks, Blue! Glad to uplift! :)

Ah, this is great! I quite literally had my morning cup of coffee just now, but I think that this poem would have sufficed. Would I be uttering a cliche if I said that this poem exhibits the joie de vivre that I hope would be a more integral part of poetry? Thank you for this happy poem. It has certainly made my day!

[Rita L. Sev]

Thank you so much, Abdul! Joy is so underrated these days, but I think it's making a comeback! :)

[Abdul Aziz]

I sure do hope so! Thank you once again for this poem :)
