Verses that distill the essence of experience into concentrated moments of meaning.

Life

February 9, 2013 at 11:02 PM
Life is like a slippery road; full of snow and ice, So walk it with great care. It is fragile like a young seedling; Sprouting quietly from the earth, So water it and tend it to flourish. For it is brief: and it needs Patience, humility and tenacity.
Yes! Those who succeed in life, Are they who have learned the technique of the game; That's, hanging on a little bit longer than the rest. They are the ones who relish life to the fullest; So be patient, be humble and persevere.
Life is a ladder which everyone must climb in order to succeed; Yet while some climb it with determination to its zenith, Others give up before they begin Or halfway to the top.
Yes! Those who succeed in life, Are they who have learned the technique of the game; That's, hanging on a little bit longer than the rest. They are the ones who relish life to the fullest; So be patient, be humble and persevere.
Life is a dream; so dream it and make it a reality. It is a vision; so visualize it and mold something tangible out of it. It is a game; so play it wisely to win it. It is a puzzle; so solve it and avail yourself of it. It is a choice; so choose it wisely lest you are enticed.
Yes! Those who succeed in life, Are they who have learned the technique of the game; That's, hanging on a little bit longer than the rest. They are the ones who relish life to the fullest; So be patient, be humble and persevere.
Life is giving; so share the least you have with others that you may gain more. It is service; so be a servant and serve others delightedly that you may see Heaven. It is faith; so have faith and trust in God for He has a great plan for your life. It is kind; so be kind, considerate and thoughtful of others.
Yes! Those who succeed in life, Are they who have learned the technique of the game; That's, hanging on a little bit longer than the rest. They are the ones who relish life to the fullest; So be patient, be humble and persevere.
