Life is so very precious

I don’t think you realise

How precious life can be,

It takes some sort of accident

To really make you see.

***

It’s amazing how many people

Share the same feeling,

“It won’t come my way”,

Whatever life is dealing.

***

Correct me if I’m wrong

But I don’t think I am,

You are as much at risk

As any other man.

***

Don’t think you are any different

It’s what a lot of people say,

There was even a time

When I used to think this way.

***

But now that’s all changed

I learnt what life’s about,

Life is very precious

Of that I’ve now no doubt.

About the Creator

Colleen Millsteed

My first love is poetry — it’s like a desperate need to write, to free up space in my mind, to escape the constant noise in my head. Most of the time the poems write themselves — I’m just the conduit holding the metaphorical pen.
