Life Is...

Life is what you make it.
You can work yourself to the bone,
or you can share while you knit.

Life is what you want.
You can run and play all day,
or you can stare at a font.

Life is what you are.
A workaholic who's never home,
or a family man who makes it far.

Life is what you do.
Chasing the next plane,
or finding an opportunity new.

Life is what you say.
Talking to pass the time,
or for your children foundations lay.

Life is what you write.
Will you leave volumes behind,
or will there be a fight.

Life is what you see.
The little things that you find,
or is everything about me.

Life is what you have.
Many interesting toys,
or friends and family like a salve.

To my wife

Love is tender and kind
Love is a decision to be blind
Love is a once in a life time find
Love will get you out of a bind

I am glad that I found you in time
So I can keep my life in rhyme
Without you my life would be in ruin
You make my life a perfect tune

Thanks for taking time to be with me
And soon you will see
That we will grow old
And will be together and be bold

I Love You!
