L I F E Poem by Jordan Legaspi

Life is like a prayer
that in every occasion
different invocation to God
to suit its purpose and reason…

Life is like a pencil
to mark something; to fill in the blank and color its line
that needs One Eraser to erase what is mistakenly written
and to be sharpened by the author’s own experience...

Life is like the waves of the sea
that its rise and fall
is the calm and trouble of days…

Life is like a song
that we all sing and dance
sometimes in harmony
sometimes in broken chords and not in tune…

Life is like a game
that we all play and watch
sometimes we made it and win
sometimes we lost and miss the finals…

Life is like a race
that we all partake and run to the field
sometimes we finish the line with colors
sometimes along the way we stumble and fall…

Life is like a ball
that we all go for dance and be merry
sometimes as a couple
sometimes with friends
sometimes alone and by our selves…

Like is like
the “I” when we start dreaming
the “You” when we start sharing our dream
the “We” when we start fulfilling the dream…

Life is like a book
that is printed with different stories
from the “the creation story”
to the “the destruction of Jerusalem”…

Life is like a flower
that blooms in the morning
and weathered in the evening…

Life is like a gift
that is wrapped with different colors
and in different shapes and forms
yet with one purpose- love…

Life is like the season
that the love and hate; faith and doubt; hope and despair
is equally needed to live life to its fullness and balance…
