This poem in very insightful, it has captivated my taughts and it allows me to view how life is to be lived through grace.
It opens up that life is "just for living", and to always be mindful that in all our doings, we are to give our best while remembering the limits, the dos and the don'ts.
It shows that the decisions you have made and those that you will make in your lifetime is by choice, and therefore your life is what you make it, so if you choose wisely by Grace you will have little to no regrets in the life you live.

From what I've learned these sound like coated takes from all these clever author's experts and philosophers it does not sound like a poem but a collective of coates about the balance of forces

"To do your best with the metaphorical cards you’re dealt, without trying to change the cards at all."

I am lost for words...very well done.

Man, is not hate, but the poem doesn't pass a lyric's exam, in the point of view of literature. I mean, you did abuse of repetition, its rymmes are not well handle; if you are gonna make a poem with free verses there are some things you have to be attached of, like the rhythm, the musicality and be aware of... I don't know how you say it in English, but in Spanish we say something like "bad versing". Things that you cannot pass away when you write a poem, because this is more like a dissertation in verses than an actual poem. I recommend you to read poets, like Emily Dickinson, Lord Byron, Chessterton, Wilde... good poets, no traductions. If you read them I can garantee you that they can teach you one or two things about poetry. Keep it up, and take on count that when one writes, one cannot show mostly about itself, we are more instruments of the art that the creators of something. Learn to see the live pass away, that's a technique to one desperzonalice, but that's a thing I'll not say here. Don't take so hard my critic, are just advices and a exam, things that no much people see in a writting, hope you take it in the right way and improve. Keep writting, keep reading, don't lose the motivation (sorry if I have any grammar mistake).

The last two verses are pure gold. It is a simple poem one may argue but that's what Tagore tried to collude in his Poem No. VIII of Gitanjali. A poet must at large practice simplicity of words, to not embellish the piece too much that it couldn't enter the great fair human life. Life's already complex, let's leave it to that and all of us shall follow escapism through poetry.

What a thoughtful and relatable piece. Thoroughly enjoyed all its elements. Gratitude is indeed a good virtue and this piece reminded me of that. Thank you so much!

The last thought is the best one in the whole poem because that's the reality of life. We forget that everyday is a gift and an opportunity. We don't have to wait for the right time. If we wake up in the morning then that's the best time of all that we can ask for. Never have regrets, live everyday like it might be your last and you will be able to live it to the fullest

I absolutely loved this poem. I do not write all that well and sometimes over explain so I hope this comes across as my intentions want it to.
I think is so well written and I sincerely think it screams of Truth. Balance is so key to all that we as humans have been given. Anything to much one way or the other brings distortion and is a set up for problems. Things are as they are but must always be seen from a place that sits in the middle when viewing it one way or another. Thanks for sharing!!

'To choose to turn your life around before it is too late and there is no life left to turn around.' Wow!! That thought really moved me. Thank you
