This IS Life

This is a life
Although it's not perfect
Everything one gets
Must know they deserve it
Good or bad,
in a sense they're the same
If not for mistakes,
There would be no gain.
If not for pain
If not for pleasure,
Against what,
Would we have to measure?
How can we know
What is the truth
Every experience
They speak to you
What we are now
What we were before
What we will become
And last What is instore
This is a life
A privileged thing.
One if not the best,
Most marvelous thing.
You have got to love it!
