Life

by Jad   Jul 31, 2009


The time of life,
Dwindles slowly down,
Through happiness and strife.
Until we no longer make a sound.

Keep this in mind,
As you live in this day.
Take the hints from those signs,
And follow the correct, not wrong way.

On one day,
You will be happy,
Feeling the warm sun's rays.
And the next you won't be able to see.

As Time goes by,
You will learn many things.
Like you should never not try,
And to nothing you should ever cling.

When time's up,
Will you be able to say.
That your life wasn't corrupt,
And that you followed the right way.

Cause time flies by,
And if were not careful enough;
Will be connected to wrong ties,
And our life will one day be snuffed.

So take care,
And make sure you do.
What your supposed to and tear,
Away from anything that is not true.

This is the end,
For the time's gone.
I hope that you will win,
As through life you have undergone.

    Keep this in mind,
    As you live in this day.
    *I didn't like how you said that. I would maybe say "as you live each day" or something like that.*

    Take the hints from those signs,
    And follow the correct, not wrong way.
    *This last line seems kinda forced. I would change it to "and live your life the correct way" something like that, so you can keep the rhyme but it also makes more sense*

    On one day,
    You will be happy,
    Feeling the warm sun's rays.
    And the next you won't be able to see.
    *I liked what you were saying here but you lost me at the last line. I would maybe explain that part better*

    And to nothing you should ever cling.
    *This sounded like another forced line. I'm not sure how to fix it though*

    When time's up,
    *I would say "when the time is up" that sounds more appealing then the way you wrote it.*

    Will be connected to wrong ties,
    *Did you mean to say "We'll be connected to wrong ties?*

    And our life will one day be snuffed.
    *I loved how you used the word "snuffed" here. Very clever*

    Away from anything that is not true.
    *"untrue" sounds better and less wordy than "not true"*

    This is the end,
    For the time's gone.
    I hope that you will win,
    As through life you have undergone.
    *I liked how you ended this. It's almost like an instruction manual to living a good life or something. I thought that was very creative. There was some parts that bothered me a little but other than that I think you did a good job with this. Keep it up hun. Nik*
