What did Longfellow's poem "Ode to Life" inspire you?

People usually leave a will to their descendants before they die, but a British soldier who fought in Crimea recited a poem praising life before he died. The author of this poem is Longfellow, the most famous American poet in the 9th century. Shakespeare, a great English writer, once lamented that life is just an idiotic dream. Longfellow's attitude towards life is completely opposite to Shakespeare's. In the first sentence of this poem, he denies that life is a dream. He believes that life is a real and tangible thing. Therefore, he encourages people to take action to make tomorrow go further than today. Then the poet compares life to a battlefield. We should be brave in the front, not cowardly deserters, so that we can live a full life and die a noble and great death. When our footprints stay on the sand of time, those who are desperate and lose confidence in life will raise the sails of life. So in the last section, the poet encouraged us to "keep forging ahead and keep pursuing."
