Gripe

I worked hard all my life.

Nothing was given to me.

What I earned was from

My labor of the day.

 

Sure we got others rich

With the labor that we did.

But that's life in the trenches,

And the good thing is, we can gripe,

GEORGE, YOU HAVE TO KEEP IN MIND, GOD ORDAINS 'EVERYTHING'. YOU HAVEN'T HAD A BAD LIFE AND WHEN YOU NEEDED THE STRENGTH TO DO WHAT YOU HAD TO DO...GOD GAVE IT TO YOU. AND HE EVEN THREW IN SOME HAPPINESS ALONG THE WAY WITH THE LOVE OF A GOOD WIFE AND A FAMILY. SO WHAT AM I SAYING? SURE YOU CAN GRIPE BUT DON'T FORGET TO SAY 'THANK YOU, LORD' ALSO. BLESS YOU MY FRIEND. LOVE AND FAITH...JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS

We have to let off steam sometimes - this poem raised a smile for me at least.

Young people today have a little bit harder, but I can save from my family that hard work and education are still paying off for them. I think it's a right for old folks to gripe.

We can gripe alright, it's getting someone to listen to us that matters.

You can gripe everyday, in every poem, in every way & still I enjoy to read when you gripe or just write of your life experiences, you are after all a teacher of life...-e-
