Life Is Fine by Langston Hughes

I went down to the river,

 I set down on the bank.

 I tried to think but couldn't,

 So I jumped in and sank.
I came up once and hollered!

 I came up twice and cried!

 If that water hadn't a-been so cold

 I might've sunk and died.
But it was Cold in that water! It was cold!
I took the elevator

 Sixteen floors above the ground.

 I thought about my baby

 And thought I would jump down.
I stood there and I hollered!

 I stood there and I cried!

 If it hadn't a-been so high

 I might've jumped and died.
But it was High up there! It was high!
So since I'm still here livin',

 I guess I will live on.

 I could've died for love--

 But for livin' I was born
Though you may hear me holler,

 And you may see me cry--

 I'll be dogged, sweet baby,

 If you gonna see me die.
Life is fine! Fine as wine! Life is fine!

An Attractive Girl

 An Attractive Girl An attractive girl with beauty so rare Eyes that sparkle like diamonds in air Lips that shine like the morning sun And a smile that brightens everyone Her grace and poise are truly a sight With a heart that's pure and filled with light She walks with confidence, head held high And the world can't help but look and sigh Her aura is captivating and warm With a beauty that's both natural and charm She's a precious gem in a sea of stones And the love in her heart overflows Though she's just a girl, she's a wonder to see And the world is a better place, because she's free to be herself, and bring beauty where ever she go. Please note that this is a fictional poem and does not depict any real person. Also it's worth to note that beauty is subjective and it should be celebrated in all forms and shapes.
