Maybe… ( A Poem About Life )

Maybe… we were supposed to meet the
wrong people before meeting the right one
so that, when we finally meet the right person,
we will know how to be grateful for that gift.

Maybe… it is true that we don't know
what we have until we lose it,
but it is also true that we don't know
what we have been missing until it arrives.

Maybe…happiness waits for all those who cry,
all those who hurt, all those who have searched,
and all those who have tried, for only they can appreciate
the importance of all the people who have touched their lives.

Maybe . . you should do something nice for someone
every single day, even if it is simply to leave them alone.

Maybe … giving someone all your love is never
an assurance that they will love you back.
Don't expect love in return; just wait for it to grow in their
heart; but, if it doesn't, be content that it grew in yours.

Maybe…you should dream what you want to dream;
go where you want to go, be what you want to be,
because you have only one life and one chance
to do all the things you dream of, and want to do.

Maybe…life is only travelled once; and
today’s moment becomes tomorrow’s memory.
Enjoy every moment, good or bad, because
the gift of life is life itself…."
