Life Is Too Short to Waste and Do Nothing

By Gracie Curry Holman

The title of my book is one of the poems entitled Life Is Too Short. I added “To Waste” to give the title a more significant meaning. People are getting killed every day at a very young age, and a fair number of people is dying of natural causes, and I am sure they have not accomplished their goals when they were killed. I have many pieces in this book, and I hope each and every piece will be comfort and enjoyment to my readers. This is my second poetry book, and each one of them I had motivation that helped me to complete them. Writing is a passion, but I really enjoy writing poetry. Thanks so much for reading my book, and I truly hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.

Now Is the Time

Now is the time for the world to come together as one, and maybe it will be a more peaceful world for all of us.

Now is the time for us to respect each other, and all the corruptions that are going on will stop, and we can all began to live with each other here on earth.

Now is the time for families to start getting along because if there is going to be peace, we have to start somewhere.

Now is the time for love and happiness and let all the sadness and haters go away forever and ever.

Now is the time for us to react to all things but only should hope for a peaceful world because all the fighting that is going on now is too much to bear.

I Cannot Live My Life in Fear

I cannot live my life in fear of everything because if I did, I would stay in all the time, and this will cause me to be depressed, and I try to stay away from this.

I cannot live my life in fear because if I did, this world will keep going on without me anyway.

I cannot live my life in fear because if I did, I would be depressed and angry all the time, and this would not do me any good.

I cannot live my life in fear because I need to be free to live my life as I want; if I am afraid all the time, what will I have to look forward to when I wake up every day.

I cannot live my life in fear because I would be along in this life, and I need someone as go through this life.

I cannot live my life in fear because I want to feel alive, and if I am afraid, I don’t have anything to look forward to when I walk out my door every day.

Feel So Alone

When I wake up in the morning, I feel like I am all alone and hope and pray that someone will come and rescue me before it is too late.

When I think things are getting better than a curve ball is thrown my way, and I am soon all alone again.

It sounds like I am complaining, but I am not because I know some people out there are worse off than me.

Sometimes I feel like being all alone, but I say to myself that is the situation I am trying to get out of now because deep down inside, I don’t want to be all alone anymore.

I say I can make it in the world by myself, but I know this is not true because it is better in this life to share it with someone else.

I feel all alone now but hoping this will change, so I will never feel all alone ever again.

Happiness

Happiness means never having to say I am sorry to the people you love most.

Happiness is living free in this life and be treated equal even if you are different than others.

Happiness is finding someone to love and share your life with even though you might not agree with one another all the time.

Happiness is having friends you can trust, and they can trust you too even if the situation is not so good sometime.

Happiness is sharing a caring for others in this life, and that want cost you anything at all.

Happiness is living your life to the fullest, and you are allowed to make mistakes and not be judged for that before you can explain yourself.

Happiness is…

I Pray

I pray for peace in this world because now there is no peace anywhere.

I pray that God wake me up every day and give me the strength to get through this day and love one more person that day.

I pray for my health and my family health too. Then I ask him to bring peace all over the world and save the children because they are innocent and should not be caught up in grown-up wars.

I pray for others as I do myself because I am not that selfish to ask God only to help me and forget everyone else.

I pray many times a day hoping he will answer all my prayers but answer the ones we are in need of right now.

I pray
