Sage advice because as you stated life is short.
Meaningful relationships are what are most important along the way.
Can live without a bunch of possessions that only collect dust.
People are much more important than material things ever could be.

Comment from Verna Cole Mitchell
You presented an important principle for life in your brief poem. My family keeps me centered, each member in a special way, and they add meaning to all I do. Also, I treasure my friends.

Thank you Verna. That encapsulates my thoughts exactly. People matter, not things. We need to look after our relationships, that?s where our fulfilment lies. Beginning with our relationship with the Lord.

This 1-1-2-12, A Good Life, has the proper formatting and reminds us that it takes a village to make a life. "Live well" is the best advice.

Life is short, you resolve one problem, you get a break, and another problem is right around the corner. We need to enjoy each moment of contentment. Company of good friends and family make living worthwhile.

In my opinion, a meaningful write, well stated and presented in its entirety - both verse and photograph 'maximized' for articulate and inspiring effect...

Thank you very much for your lovely review. Most encouraging!
Comment from Tom Horonzy
Good luck. This stands a chance to not only place but win. This challenge was difficult as many will take a short sentence instead of a thought for lines one two and three

You're absolutely right my friend, life is certainly short, and the momentum of life seems to be rushing by at a phenomenal rate, and getting faster. Beautifully written, great entry, good luck, blessings Roy

A good advice 1-1-2-12 poem. I like that you used large, easy to read font. The message is clear. The visual fits perfectly. I wish you luck in the contest. You have a good entry.

Comment from GARY MACLEAN
We never really know how short life is until we near the end of our own. Then we wonder, what happened? where did it all go? Absolutely, live life for all you have because before you know it, it is over.
Very nice verse.
