The Hymn of Life

Life is an opportunity, seize it,
Life is beauty, admire it,
Life is a dream, realize it,
Life is a duty, fulfill it,
Life is a game, play it,
Life is a mystery: know it.
Life is a promise, keep it.
Life is sorrow, surmount it.
Life is a song, sing it.
Life is a struggle, fight it.
Life is an adventure, challenge it.
Mother Teresa, has added to the list in her own hand:
Life is life, save it.
