Life is a journey

Life is a journey

that begins at birth,

an exploration of a paradise

called earth.

Life is a breath of fresh air

against your cheek.

It's the tears that fall

and the smile that lifts you

when you're weak.

Life is an exclamation of joy

when spring has begun.

It's the excitement you feel

beneath the sun.

Life is a cherished memory

that makes you feel warm

and the comfort of a fire

in the midst of a storm.

Life is holding your newborn

and watching your child grow.

It's pigtails and roller skates,

and fights in the snow.

Life is a heartbeat

and the song of a bird.

It's the voice of those you love

and all the music you've ever heard.

Life is the most precious gift from God

that you'll ever receive,

and to live it to its fullest,

you've only to believe...

that this is your life,

and you can be,

all you've ever

hoped to be.
