More Life

from twenty toes to me

By Aqeedah Mujahid-GainesPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

Somewhere, some place soon

I know there is more life for me

More life to live then waiting

Wasting on a distant dream

Not a lady in waiting

Not a heartbreak aching

I know there is life

I know there is more life out there

I know this because it swam in my womb

I know there is more life to live

Then waiting for impending doom

I see there is more life to breathe

I've been given living proof

Those four eyes greet me in the morning

Such a pride to inspire more life

which of Gods favor would you deny?

Favor of life to live as it floats by

We say so much, oh how time flies

Yet as ignorant beings we waste the time

Wasted on worries, fears, anger, doubts

I know there is more life to find

I am determined to seek it out

More views to view

More air to breathe

More love to love

More life to be

inspirational
