This poem reflects the emotional journey of life as a blend of joy and sorrow, where every experience leaves a mark on the soul.

It speaks of resilience, gratitude, and the quiet determination to keep living fully despite life’s fragility and impermanence.

# To Live Before Goodbye #

In the quiet weave of joy and pain,
I gather fragments—sun and rain.
I stitch my thoughts from breaking skies,
and learn the truth in tearful eyes.

I write the moments life has spun,
the hidden weight, the rising sun.
I eat my days—both bitter, sweet,
and walk through time on weary feet.

Yes, every sorrow leaves a trace,
a softer line upon my face.
And every joy, however small,
becomes the light that shapes it all.

I am no more than what I feel,
a shifting heart the years reveal.
Yet still I rise, still I try—
to love this life before goodbye.

Life, a gift so brief, so wide,
I hold the storm, I hold the tide.
And in between what breaks, what mends,
I vow to live until the journey ends. 😍
