Life is a journey we all must take,
A path we walk, a road we make,
With twists and turns at every bend,
And surprises that never seem to end.

It’s a rollercoaster ride, up and down,
With moments of joy and times we frown,
It’s a beautiful mess, a tangled web,
Full of hope and fear, love and dread.

We laugh, we cry, we dance, we sing,
We fall in love, and we spread our wings,
We learn to let go, and we learn to hold on,
To the memories, the people, the places we belong.

Life is a gift, a precious gem,
To be cherished and lived to the brim,
So take it slow, and take it fast,
Make it count, make it last.

For in the end, it’s not the years we’ve lived,
But the moments that our hearts have given,
The love we shared, the kindness we’ve shown,
That make life truly human, and make us feel at home.

    I love existential writing. You conveyed the complex and colorful components of life beautifully with a nice flowing rhyme scheme. My favorite line that you wrote is "life is a gift, a precious gem."

    Hello, I love this poem because it offers such a lovely outlook on life. The second to last stanza stood out to me most as it serves as a reminder to appreciate and value life for what it is. Great post.

    This poem is so good. It feels like it is directly speaking to us about the last few years and the things we had to make peace with. It's refreshing to see someone that still has a somewhat positive outlook on life even though they have no control over the roller coaster. It's like reading about all the positive things. It warms my heart.

    I think you had an amazing beat and rhythm in this work and I loved the rhyming in this. I read it out loud and it just flowed really beautifully. It also had a really nice message, good job!
