A Passion To Live Poem by Jeanette Telusma

A Passion To Live

Rating: 5.0


To be counted amongst the living is a blessing.
To be amongst the living gives you one more chance to be...
It's another chance to bring that dream into existence.
That dream is worth pursuing.
Pursue it as though there is only today.
Yes, there is today because yesterday is gone.
Yesterday is gone therefore today is in the present.
The present is what you should pursue.
You should pursue it as if it was your last.
Make it count and leave a lasting legacy behind.
A lasting legacy that tells the world
You possess a passion to live.

Not one single concrete image. All abstractions and generalities. All telling and no showing. I'm not really convinced when there are no observations except the thoughts that float in the head ungrounded.
