Life

Jennifer Lisa Mandeville

All should acknowledge that life is a prize

There is so much to it that we don't realize

Why do we choose to hate over love

Why instead of helping,do we choose to shove

That's not how life was meant to be

We're supposed to live as one big family.

In life, it shouldn't be about who has more

It should be acknowleding what life has in store

If you live your life each day at your best.

You will have more in life when its the time to be put to rest
