Embracing Life Poem by Timothy Long

In the depths of despair,
Lies a soul so broken and bare.
Thoughts of ending it all,
Seem to be the only call.

But in the midst of darkness,
A light shines so bright.
A ray of hope, a glimmer of sight,
To guide the lost towards the light.

For life is not a burden,
But a precious gift to hold.
Though sorrows may burden,
Joy awaits to unfold.

In the face of adversity,
We find our greatest strength.
For each hurdle we overcome,
A new chapter begins to length.

So let us not give in,
To the temptation of death.
For there is so much to live for,
With every heartbeat and every breath.

Let happiness shine,
In every moment we live.
For life is a treasure,
And a gift we must not give.

Embrace the wonders of life,
And all that it may bring.
For even in our darkest hours,
There's a reason to sing.

So let this be a reminder,
To all who feel lost.
There's always a reason,
To embrace life at any cost.

For in the end, it's not about the fall,
But how we rise above.
So let us choose to live,
And embrace life with love.
