Every life is a life worth living.
A special gift from God.
No matter what the circumstances.
It must be held in high regard.
There are many battles in life.
That makes you stumble and fall.
But the will of God makes you stand up tall.
For the life you live, with it many pitfalls.
Makes you stronger each day.
Shoulders back, with your head held high.
Standing tall.
Sometimes hurting inside,
but a smile on your face.
Knowing that God is in this race.
When the lights go out and darkness falls.
You pray for the morning light,
And the dawn of a brand-new day.
Knowing that life is worth living.
If your heart is willing,
to keep God in your life.
Every single day.
