L.I.F.E Poem by Letter From My Mother's Womb

L.I.F.E

In L, you'll Learn
In I, you'll have to Insist
In F, you'll have to Fight
In E, you'll have to live to Empower
Follow this,
For you will know answers to how, why and when
Might understand this, from the age of ten
Store this, do not be forgetful, like a hen
Take my words,
Like the commands of believed in Lords,
I've tied a few threads,
To this I've wrote, clear as it all reads
You're my life,
Life born in I,
Hope to see you, eye for an eye
Crawl to walk, walk to run
Embrace this,
You were made from Hers and His,
Their seeds!
Yes, our seeds, and you're our result
For this reason,
I've taken insults,
From one season,
Season to the other, I've shed tears, unending!
I was once hanged,
Just when I thought I'd be hugged,
By this L.I.FE, I got humbled
Do not worry, nor be troubled, instead be inspired!
For as long as you've got this life,
Live it,
Embrace yourself,
And learn L.I.F.E
It may seem difficult,
But there isn't much difficulty,
Like salt, brings taste
You're welcome in this L.I.F.E faculty.
