Secret of Life

By: Mylinh Nguyen

Two girls discover the secret of life.

Sunken beneath the shore of dreams and wishes.

Waiting to be discovered, wanting to

be shown. These necessities are the key

to survival. It is try not to crack,

 try not to care. Ignore all and forget

the fights. Dream about tomorrow but live

for today. To live a little, you’ve got

to love a whole lot.  For the way to a

fruitful life passes through some struggle. For

the way to a lavishing life passes

through some weariness. Take time to smell the   

rose, tuplips, daffodils and sunflower.

Enjoy the sun on your skin, the breeze in

your hair. Set good examples, do good deeds,

for you shall treat others how you want to

be treated. Remember the golden rule.

Even if you get nothing but the cold

shoulder, don’t stop them from the cruelty.

Just let them walk along your footsteps.

Face the heat, walk on fire, laugh when troubled

and keep standing tall as you can. Always

Remember to count blessings like children

counting the starts. The secret of life is

not buried in a treasure chest under

the sea, but  lies within your golden heart. 
It's the little moments that make life big. 

For that is the secret of life. Live, love

and laugh. Cherish every moment you have.

Poem of the Day: The Secret

BY DENISE LEVERTOV

Two girls discover   

the secret of life   

in a sudden line of   

poetry.

I who don’t know the   

secret wrote   

the line. They   

told me

(through a third person)   

they had found it

but not what it was   

not even

what line it was. No doubt   

by now, more than a week   

later, they have forgotten   

the secret,

the line, the name of   

the poem. I love them   

for finding what   

I can’t find,

and for loving me   

for the line I wrote,   

and for forgetting it   

so that

a thousand times, till death   

finds them, they may   

discover it again, in other   

lines

in other   

happenings. And for   

wanting to know it,   

for

assuming there is   

such a secret, yes,   

for that   

most of all.
