LIFE'S TESTS.

Life sends us tests that attitude can over come
Yes health can be a factor, far worse for some
Then there is romance, to add to the pot
Love is important, but first join all the dots

Someone you can rely upon, at anytime
Sadly we never know, when life is fine
Time is the answer, there is no race
Spending time together, a foundation base

Devotion comes in many, shapes and forms
For some it is a birth right, gifted when born
Others find their true love, a soul mate too
It's what many search for, and can come true

Yet whatever the journey, to do your very best
Some are not keepers, compare as a guest
Also with health problems, they come and go
Supported with friends, is better than a foe

Select those around you, with the best of care
When you need a friend, real ones will share
Highs and lows, will be eased you'll see
Finding special people, caring is the key

To learn from life's hic-cups, a bonus of sorts
Means silver linings are a gift, isn't bought
I was lucky, finding special people that cared
Time they gave freely, and happily shared.

Hi, niah9,
Select those around you, with the best of care...
Finding special people, caring is the key

True friends are a rare gift...those important enough that one is there for them when they need you—and vice versa. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Kathy. Totally agree with gnj ."Someone you can rely upon, at anytime
Sadly we never know, when life is fine
Time is the answer, there is no race"
Stay safe. Lily wave
