<center>Life is but a  shadow
Roaring like a hurricane with all its woes
Flourish like a flower in the day
Vanish with the sun in its ray</center>

<center>Life can be like a newly wedded bride 
Smiling at you with padded pride 
Moving with so great a stride
Void of every unending strives</center>

<center>Life can be a flower
Blooming in the early hours
Dancing to the tune of the wind
Tossed at dusk in the bin</center>

<center>Life to me is simple 
I live one day at a time
I live free of worries
I only live once</center>

This poem is an entry for the 100days steemit school poetry challenge....

It's unfortunate that I missed day 1 submission.  I'll leave the categorization of my entry  to the organizer (@d-pend)
