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 even 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 losses unfathomable
Questions that have no answers or reason that could possibly make logic
And equally, that beauty and happiness knows no bounds, momentarily
Hope and forbearance is a road to journey today
Because yesterdays heartbroken ground is too rocky to stride
And future’s path is filled with uncertainty and apprehensive doubt
Stark 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 example
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 melancholy
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 materialistic shackles
Finding is a joy to cherish; keeping it is a life’s vocation, if only we understood
‘I Love You’ a commonplace declaration, living the love is life’s true pursuit
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
How could you be so close and yet so far away not to know?
Without a sound, unnoticed that your heart and soul had been pillaged
Life is about learning and with every hello and goodbye
Is it is a lesson already too late for the learning?
