LIFE & HOPE   
(Deljah S. Dickson)

What is life you ask…

Life is one of God’s masterpieces
It is filled with experiences, challenges, and lessons to be learned… “Life lessons”
Life is when you are given the opportunity to learn about the world and yourself.

Who is life?

Well, I am life
I could perhaps be the best thing since recess or maybe even chocolate Sundays!
Life is the most precious gift ever to be given.
Hum, I am also what so many people take for granted.
I bring things like love, laughter, fun, and family
I can also be hard and unfair at times.
I bring good and bad experiences
But I am precious and should be handled with care.
 I am the hardest test you’ll ever take.
When you fail at me, you fail at true happiness.
For I am only here for a short period of time… so cherish me while you can.
I am life. I am what people make of me.

I am Hope.
 
I represent dreams, plans, expectations, and wishes.
I am sweet, pure and innocent
I keep you strong when the problems of life make you weak.
I’m the one that tells you to keep your face to the sun so you can’t see the shadow.
I remind you that your success and happiness lie within you.
I keep you going everyday, because believing in me helps you overcome the challenges that you face in life.
External conditions are the accidents of life, but power from within and belief in me is its cure.
I am hope. I make living life easier.
