Fully Alive | A Poem to Live By
If you know someone who is suffering from a life threatening illness and may be struggling with the sadness or disappointment of their lives journey, I encourage you to print this uplifting poem and share it with them. No matter what our time on earth is, we should all live our days to the fullest, embrace life and make every day count.
fully alive
I will not die an unlived life.
I will not live in fear
of falling or catching fire.
I choose to inhabit my days,
to allow my living to open me,
to make me less afraid,
more accessible,
to loosen my heart
until it becomes a wing,
a torch, a promise.
I choose to risk my significance;
to live so that which came to me as seed
goes to the next as blossom
and that which came to me as blossom,
goes on as fruit.
