Abstract

It acknowledges the disparity in life's ease for the privileged versus the struggle for the less fortunate, yet it emphasizes life's generosity to those who dare to seize it. The author posits that life's purpose is found not in the destination but in the journey itself, and that life gains depth when one's desires give way to love—both the love one carries and the love one embodies.

A Poem.

Life seems infinite When it comes to my desires; Seems finite when it comes to love.

Life seems easy For those with more; Seems a disaster For those with less; Yet I forget that it is very generous, For those who choose to dare.

Life gives you a purpose That you carry; It is not about the destination, When it is a journey.

Life deepens When your desires end, Carrying within The love that you have, Embodying within The love that you are, Is what brings forth the Life Worth living.

This Love That resides deep within In your heart, This Love if you could bring forth And carry per diem, Will make this Life Exceptional, & Worth living.
