Life’s cruel blows teaches us a subtle difference
Between your hand being held and the grip of possession
Security doesn’t mean loosing your self-worth without compromise
Kisses aren’t a price to pay for complacency and acceptance
Lethargy is not a state of mind to contemplate
Your smile and laughter should be yours to share or not
Comprehension that life has its ups as well as downs
And learning life has cruel abandonment and defeats unfathomable
Questions that have no answers or reason that could possibly make logic
And equally, that beauty and happiness knows no bounds, momentarily
Character and forbearance is a road to journey today
Because yesterdays heartbroken ground is too rocky to stride
And futures path is filled with uncertainty and suspicious doubt
And soon the reality that nothing is forever, so savour the special moments
No one is completely on your side and blind trust leaves bitter disappointment
And that there is nothing we can’t endure or heal our spirit broken
That innocence is malevolently eroded by a cruel awakening and lesson
Whenever we feel alone and without hope to make it through another day
Look at the starving, the orphaned and the crippled then reassess
Happiness is a state of mind which is mostly of our own volition
Love is an emotion that can make us soar or take us to the depths of depression
One day is another day nearer to our demise, wasted, can never be relived
To find someone with whom you can truly laugh, cry, and just be
This is love, real love, unbridled without condition or material shackles
Finding is a joy to cherish; keeping it is a life’s vocation, if only we understood
‘I Love You’ a commonplace mouthpiece, living the love is life’s true worth
Loneliness is a curse bearing down as heavy as leaden weight
Ask those who had and lost love and let it slip away as a thief in the night
Without a sound, unnoticed that their heart and soul had been robbed
Life is about learning and with every hello and goodbye
Is it is a lesson too late for the learning?
