To Live or To Die

Maridel C. Salon 1982 (Cagayan de Oro)



                  To Live or To Die

Life is a struggle they say,
Full of worries and all the sway,
It may not end in the summer May,
But for sure it doesn't happen day by day.

Let life be and follow the flow,
Constant change may not instantly grow,
Little things may come and go,
For another day is to throw another show.

This sadness may be weakening you,
But to overthink doesn't end the flow,
Live, love, and enjoy the space,
As we breathe, hope and happiness awaits.

Stand tall and fight to survive,
Have courage to face the life,
For living is an innermost desire,
And quitting is an outrageous conspire.
