LIFE

You've heard the saying, "Life is what you make it" which is true. But, for those that are going through some changes in their life and some difficult choices to make - Let me extend a hand.  This is a favorite poem of mine and I would like personally to share it with you.

I hope this too will give you some comfort.

What is my life meant to be?

Am I supposed to stay here

and do something with myself or leave?

Am I supposed to save dying children

from a life of poverty and aids

or am I to be narcissistic

and only reflect on my own pain?

What is my life meant to be?

Am I to touch people with my music and my words

or am I to be selfish

and live in my own world?

Should I pray to stay

that I live my life to be free

or should I be caged like an animal

my rage hindering me?

What is my life meant to be?

Should I deny the people

become a professor and teach one pupil

that no matter who you are if you believe you can

you can reach the stars?

What is my life meant to be?

How can I help someone

when I'm ashamed,

when I'm afraid,

when I'm disgraced,
a vessel here only wasting space?

What is my life meant to be?

I met an old homeless man on the street

and asked him, "What am I to do?"

The old homeless man

grinned and scratched his chin and said.

"The only way to get out is to get through."
