"Since I have my life before me" By Brooke Bronkowski
I'll live my life to the fullest. I'll be happy. I'll brighten up. I will be more joyful than I have ever been. I will be kind to others. I will loosen up. I will tell other's about Christ. I will go on adventures and change the world. I will be bold and not change who I really am. I will have no troubles but instead help others with their troubles.
You see, I'll be one of those people who live to be history makers at a young age. Oh, I'll have moments, good and bad, but I will wipe away the bad and only remember the good. In fact, that's all I remember, just good moments, nothing inbetween, just living my life to the fullest.
I'll be one of those people who go somewhere with a mission, an awesome plan, a world-changing plan, and nothing will hold me back.
I'll set an example for others, I will pray for direction.
I have my life before me. I will give others the joy I have and God will give me more joy. I will do everything God tells me to do.
I will follow the footsteps of God.
I will do my best!!
She was killed in a car accident when she was 14. 1500 people came to her funeral and EVERYONE spoke of her example and joy.
I know not everyone is religious on this board, but her poem touched my heart and I thought "this is how I want to live".
