What is Life?

Friends, Family and Love

What is life?

But to live each day as it comes,

It takes family, friends and love

To make life any sort of fun.

***

What is family?

But people who care,

For a group of people to love you

And to always be there.

***

What are friends?

But a piece of the world that’s your own,

You all hang around together having fun

And when there is trouble you know they’ll come.

***

What is love?

But two people with a special bond,

Who help each other through

When everything seems wrong.

***

But if you don’t have family

And you don’t have friends,

And there is no love left

Then life suddenly comes to an end.

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.
