Life is a

Life is an opportunity,
seize the day, live each day to the fullest.
Life is not a project,
but a journey to be enjoyed.

Life is a gift, accept it,
enjoy it, and be happy with it.
Life is a challenge,
but challenges can always be overcome.

Life is to be lived,
not to be dreamed.
Life is a wonder,
if you sit back and be thankful.

Life is a decision each of us makes,
to be happy or sad.
Life is a time
for new beginnings and endings.

Life is a balance,
take time for play not just work.
Life is a joy
for those who are optimistic.

Life is a bundle of possibilities
if you just look for them.
Life is a meant to do,
not to regret.
Life is no bed of roses
but life is what you make it.

Its hard to discover

"The stars sparkle and the moon beams
But nothing about you will change
Your face ,so gentle like a lamb,
Your heart so soft like cotton wool,
Your eyes glitter like diamonds,
your lips so tender like cattle grazing
your vice so deep like the sea,
For our love is so endless like an ocean with flowing blue water...MO FIRE!!!!

By Animated Mul Aath

PENDING ABOUT ME

I have loved you,gave you my heart and world
But you do not trust me
Are a man who really loves,cares and cherishes for me.would you stay around me all the time just because you own me to yourself.Baby if love another way I would be with someone else.


I do not like being guarded by you just because you think I may find somebody worthy If you know you treat me right then why worry about me .You should not a shame yourself because you are not alone in this.

I promised to be with you, told you who I was and who I am.And where I long to belong with you No matter who may come my way.And you are the one who is about to destroy Everthing we share.

Baby for all I do is try to show you that your mine.My only love.Open your eyes and see For I do not like living under your wishes just because you think I may find somebody worth me.
