Celebrating Life Poetry

[admin]

When we lose someone, we often feel the weight and sadness that life brings. I thought this was a good poem to help remind us that life is worth living even in the darkest of days.This poem may cheer up someone you know who is having a hard time living after the death of a loved one.

Celebration of Life
The celebration of life,
shared in the beginning, and again, in the end.
Yet we forget to celebrate it, in every moment we live.
Time, days, years, go on, but are we alive?
Alive and do not know it, sleeping in the world
and dead to the life we are to live.
To celebrate all life,
the sparrow who sang in the morning,
and died in the night,
why do we not celebrate its life?
To know thyself is to know you are alive -
to give, to love, to seek truth, beauty, and suffer pain.
In life as it is meant to be, pain is forgotten, and
strength is all that’s left to be gained
in the moment by moment celebration of life.
