I Love Life Poem by Colin Coplin

I love life, I don't deny it
I live life, why try to hide it
I love to taste the fruits of my labour along my way

I love life, yes, I enjoy it
I love life, don't classify it
I love everything this world has to give, I love life

I've been a loser, a winner, a dreamer, achiever, someone's discarded play thing
I've been a minor, a brother, a father, a lover, both a slave and a king

And the cards I've been dealt, I've no shame in saying,
I've rearranged them
And the times I've struck a brick wall, I've simply climbed, or walked around, them

I've been a loser, a winner, a dreamer, achiever, someone's discarded play thing
I've been a minor, a brother, a father, a lover, both a slave and a king

I love the smell of the ocean, feet pressing into the sand
The silent seductive scent of solution, love life as much as you can

For life is very is very short and death is long
God gave us the gift of life, so live your own

I love life, don't like to waste it
I love life, I like to grasp it
Live your life well, no don't waste it

It's up to each of us, to give ourselves the gift of living well

I've been a loser, a winner, a dreamer, achiever, someone's discarded play thing
I've been a minor, a brother, a father, a lover, both a slave and a king

I've been a loser, a winner, a dreamer, achiever, someone's discarded play thing
I've been a minor, a brother, a father, a lover, both a slave and a king

And when I die and St Peter calls out my name
I'll walk up with a smile, and ask to do it all again, again with you

I love life

'hope i grow old before I die...'
