Poem Artwork

Life is a gift

 

Life is so fragile

Life can be vile

Life can kill

And life can thrill

 

Life can be sordid

Life can be morbid

Life can sadden

And life can gladden

 

Life can be ironic

Life can be laconic

Life can be vernacular

And life can be spectacular

 

Life can be toxic

Life can be catastrophic

Life can be facile

And life is so fragile

 

Life can be secular

Life can be molecular

Life can be chronic

And life can be plutonic

 

Life can start

Life can part

Life can end

And life can pretend

 

Life can be given

Life can be taken

Life can drift

But life is a gift

Andrea - my thoughts are with you. May strength be yours as you walk alongside your Dad. You writ with such feeling and expression about issues that matter.

Life is indeed a journey with many twists and turns for us all.
