Sonnet question?

im writing a sonnet for school. it is not very good but its for extra credit so its ok, but i need help with the last line. here it is so far:



The sound of life is a beautiful thing.

From calling whales to old horses running.

Everything around us has its own ring.

There are many things, but all are stunning.



Life is what keeps every person alive.

It gets under the wings of birds that fly.

It is what keeps the wounded revived,

And what keeps good friends from saying goodbye.



Life like an amazing sunflower grows,

Into something the Lord sends from above.

If hate cuts down the flower all men know

That it will return with very much love.



Everyone needs people filled with much life

(last line)



it has to be 10 syllables, rhyme with life(in the previous sentance), and obviously make sense



thanks

Sonnet question?
These we go through living without much strife
Reply:"And no one needs people filled with much strife."?



It's alright, but I think you need to tweak the third quatrain. It feels a little off. The first two had a nice rythm, but it just kind of falls apart at the end.
Reply:to fuel ideas so minds can ignite? (if fuel is counted as 1 syllable)
