To Know We Are Alive Poem by Gabriel T. Saah

Close your eyes,
Value your smile,
Make stretch and shine bright,
Push forward towards the light.


Make others smile,
Don't just do it for a while,
Take care of your time,
Make time for the great Divine.


Plant trees,
Sow your seeds,
Chase your dreams,
Finding every little gleam.


Feed the hungry,
Stand up for the weak,
Don't do it for glory,
Even when it feels black and bleak.


Give voice to those who can't speak,
Give more than than you take,
Don't go after the fake,
And don't prey on the weak.


Feel others pain,
Don't just be after your gain,
Be the hands to the armless,
The sight to the ones in darkness.



Feel morning rays on your skin,
Evening shadows hovering on the horizon,
You depart with nothing, not even a pin,
Everything is just vanity.
