 Hey Tisha, I know that you can do better than you can. The poem “From Late” and “To
Those Who Have Lost Everything" taught you something that you need to remember for the
rest of your life. It brings you hope and joy in your life. The poem gives you a new perspective
on life and encouragement to live. Our challenges can turn us down so many times, but we all
can overcome our problems. Problems and challenges create to strengthen us, to give a new
experience, and teach us how to live.

Seize every moment that you have in life may be bad or good, but those are the
memories that you will have in your entire life. You can endure all the pain that you've face in
your journey. They can do judge you and turn you down. You may be at the lowest point of
your life right now, but I know you can overcome your problem. If others can do it, I know you
can do more. Do not give up when you do not have someone to hold on to. Just give a smile
and be kind to others. That is all you can do to bring joy to them in the simplest way.
