It’s inevitable that life sometimes seems unbearable
Sitting to ponder helps calm the tide
Of butterflies fluttering inside
Contagiously a twinkling smile helps us through the day
In every hairy situation
There’s a way . . . minus complication
There’s no honeycomb minus some bees swarming about the hive
Mix the sweet with the dourness of grind
Life is emotions of every kind
Death follows birth--incredible--nearly unbearable
Considering the alternative . . .
Take this opportunity to live!
