Life

A friend at the gym told me today to remember that life is a long marathon, not a sprint.
Bittersweet and cold sometimes, life can sometimes be like the cold and make us shiver,
Yet Life can sometimes be like chocolate,
So sweet and can make us quiver.

As you know, the emotions of Life can vary greatly in heights.
Through the laughter and the wine, or through the fights, and the tears,
We have all been there; we all have felt it.
From the incredible joy,
Through all the pain, life is truly remarkable.

So be happy with what you have.
For you don’t know how long your life will be.
Live life to the fullest, remember it’s not a sprint;
Make it sweet, keep your love ones close,
Make it complete.

Thanks for your words of inspiration, Lelton Paul Gray!
