Dear Jay, I agree with you 100% when you say "Love, care and compassion is a very enriching way to live one's life." I think your lovely poem tells the story very well. You give us clear instructions just how to do what you advise, and you do it with your usual excellent rhymes and conversational meter. I enjoyed reading this very much. Hugs, MM

Good advice here on how to live life, hug people and show less hate, are words of wisdom. Your poem inspires the reader to think more about their behavior and attempt to live a happier life. Well said in poetic form.

Very encouraging. A plea to people to live a more peaceful life. So when they make it to the end of it they don't have so many regreats.

What a wonderfully penned poem. Full of wisdom that comes from the experience of facing life in all its idiosyncrasies. Finding family is pleasant, Finding a love to cherish is the key. We should let the river of love expression flow from your heart telling your family how much of a love you have for them. Thanks for sharing!

Hi JayBird,

Another great verse, written by the Sage, himself! Wise words that we should all follow to live a long and fruitful life! Be kind, laugh more, love long and pray for guidance each day.

" Show dear ones and friends great moments of love,
control temper you may oft times have shown;
Be thankful to the gate keeper above,
for, your lease on life is not yours to own."

Perfect.

Have a great week!
Senyai

Such a heartfelt plea to make the important people in one's life know that they are loved. It is a mutual blessing. One can then be in peace, and await the end knowing one has done one's best to live at peace with all, to show love and compassion to all. Excellent, well expressed with the usual smooth rhyme and flow.

Great entry here, jaybird1. There are zones cement pieces of advice/considerations sprinkled through here reminding that life is finite and we must do the meaningful things. Thank you for sharing.
