Life

James Vincient Johnson 1952 (Algoma WV)

Life

Sense it for what He intends,
but feel the breeze from the winds.
Smell the fresh aroma of nature
and taste all the fruits growing wild.
See the birth of a newborn child.
Oh!  All is asked, “Be it worthwhile.”

Realize how beautiful it must be
to live such a short time for Thee.
Understand why it’s only a gift
granted from the heart.
Whether man or woman,
“Enjoy it while you can…”

About this poem
