  Precious Life By.  A.R. Ammons Life is so precious It is something that should never be neglected   Savor each moment As it is your last momentum   Every second that is past Treat is as your last   Cherish time spent Everything has something to represent   Take time and notice the small things And see what it brings   Once the time is gone There is no recalling   Always remember as you climb God only gives us one lifetime Introduction   The poem "The Precious Life," by A.R. Ammons, probes the nature of existence and its delicate, passing condition. Ammons seems here to be saying that life's impermanence—and how the moments of life are so sweet precisely because they are so short—endows life with a kind of tender gravity. Instead of lamenting the inevitability of death, Ammons bravely faces this prospect and, in doing so, reminds us not only to live our lives fully but also to be ever mindful o...

  The Road Not Taken By.  Robert Frost Two roads diverged in a yellow woad, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I Stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth;   Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim Because it was grassy and wanted wear, Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same,   And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I marked the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way I doubted if I should ever come back.   I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I, I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the diference.   Introduction One of the most famous poems by American poet Robert Frost, "The Road Not Taken," was first published in 1916. It has always cap...

Whispers of the Sky The sky above, so vast and wide, Holds secrets in its glowing tide. With clouds that dance and stars that gleam, It cradles every silent dream. The wind it whispers soft and true, Of hopes once lost, now born anew. In every drop of morning dew, The world is fresh, as skies are blue. So lift your eyes and hear the song, The sky will hum your whole life long. For in its arms, we find our way, Through night and dawn, to brighter day.
