Life is What We Make of It - Edgar A. Guest (Powerful Life Poetry) |
|
Read by Shane Morris
Written by Edgar Albert Guest Full Poem: Life is a jest; take the delight of it. Laughter is best; sing through the night of it. Swiftly the tear and the hurt and the ache of it Find us down here; life must be what we make of it. Life is a song; let us dance to the thrill of it. Grief's hours are long, and cold is the chill of it. Joy is man's need; let us smile for the sake of it. This be our creed: life must be what we make of it. Life is a soul; the virtue and vice of it. Strife for a goal, and man's strength is the price of it. Your life and mine, the bare bread and the cake of it, End in this line: life must be what we make of it. |
