Life's Meaning Poem by Ryan McCarthy

If life is a poor beggar
Do you give him nothing or show him love?
If life is a piece of clay
Do you make a lion or make a dove?
If life is a tree
Do you give it water, or cut it down?
If life is a face
Do you wear a smile or wear a frown?
If life is a war
Do you sit and watch, or stand and fight?
If life is a terror
Do you become brave, or cower in fright?
If life is a problem
Do you find resolve, or let it sit?
If life has a meaning
What do you give it?
