Life Carries On Poem by Ariana Cherry

Time is unlimited.
I don't know how long I'll keep breathing.
Or how long my heart will continue beating.
But I know that my soul will carry on.
My love is like the waters of the ocean.
It flows on forever..

With each wave, my hope
Transcends into peace and tranquility.
A hope that is innocent and pure like
The blue waters that flow within.

Inside, I carry a life.
A life with a journey of twists and turns.
And one full of trial and error with resolutions learned.
A gift that God bestowed upon me,
So that we may learn what it feels to be alive.

Every single day, I awake with a prayer,
Hopeful to be alive for another time.
I breathe in the breath of life,
Awaiting for today's new trial.

I lie here in a moment.
Treasuring this time.
How long it will last is unknown.
I am just one among many,
But we all have our own destiny.
Today I am here,
Standing forever in another
Time still,
Glimmering like the shining stars above,
As I was built to carry on
Through the Lord's love.
