I wrote this for an assignment in Language Arts class. One of the requirements was that it had to be 90 seconds long. I had tried several attempts before this, but had trouble with the length and finally ended up with this. I hope you enjoy it.

 

The Gift of Life

In life, there are many ups and downs

Just like a rollercoaster, speeding along its tracks

Good choices, and bad choices

Rights and wrongs

Yin and yang

In life, people come and go,

Just like the tide ebbs and flows

Don’t worry if you feel lost or scared,

weary or sad,

because for every down in life, there is an up

The stairway of life may seem very difficult at times,

but when you look back down to see how far you’ve come,

The ground is nowhere in sight,

and you realize how far you’ve climbed to get to where you are

So don’t stop now,

keep moving along,

and achieve the goals and dreams you never thought youcould

Life is a never-ending story,

and you’re the author

You must write on

because only you can make your life the way you want it to be

Life is not a path of easiness and simplicity

it is a path of obstacles, difficulty, and sorrow

 But you push through these things,

and find yourself happy, prosperous, and peaceful

Life is about inspiring others and making a difference in their lives

no matter how big or small

God sent us all down to Earth to do something

To change the world,

and make it a better place than it was before we were born

Life is a Pendulum

It swings and sways from side to side,

Representing the good and bad in your life

For all the bad things that have happened,

The pendulum will swing that much more towards the good

So don’t worry if you’re on the bad side of the pendulum,

For you are bound to swing eventually

Take risks, and embark on the adventure of Life

Love yourself for who you are,

and respect others for who they are

Accept that life is an opportunity,

And a gift given to us all

from the Heavens above

Thanks for reading.
