We die and we live.
Love is everywhere no matter how rough life gets.
You take the good even when the bad comes along with it.
That's life.

It's a forest fire, burning everything in its wake.
It's the first flowers blooming in the spring.
It's a destructive storm tearing lives apart.
It's the community coming together to mend a broken home.
That's life.

It's a love you never thought you'd get over.
It's the kiss on your wedding day.
It's in the tears you shed for a lost loved one.
It's inside your baby's first laugh.
That's life.

It's in people's pain and suffering.
It's in the hugs you share with your family.
It's in the lies people tell.
And it's in the love you give to the people around you.
It's life.

It's heartbreaking and beautiful all at once.
Just when you think you can't go any further, you suddenly do.
Lives fade away, but new lives come no matter what.
Remember, that's life.
Well, here's a poem I wrote for a contest in the group I'm in. I hope it's good enough; it is the first poem I've written in years. I think the last one I wrote was when I was in the 6th grade, and I don't even remember all the words to it.
