Life's Can
By Kathy Armijo

 

Life’s garbage can, can
          Gratefully, hold all your grief
          Always be found tugging at your heart
          Really, really stink
          Be a place to dump your troubles
          Answer the question of where life’s hurts go
          Gently eliminate an unsightly woe
          End thoughts of despair

          Control your life, if you let it
          Amount to the biggest landfill around
          Negatively influence your life when you give it full reign

Or, Life’s garbage can, can be a love can and:
          Lift you heart 
          Overcome adversity
          Vault you to success
          Eternally make you grateful for what you have

            Create feelings of thanksgiving
            Announces your strength, compassion, and stick-to-it’ness’
            Never let’s you live in remorse

Great use of acrostic for this pungent and aromatic message, Kathy! Puts a whole different complexion on taking out the rubbish and reminds me to recycle more! What goes around comes around - invest energies wisely. Very clever and well-crafted. TY Kate xx

We all have garbage that needs to be disposed of but never forgetting love is will last forever and can never be replaced.

Hmmmmnnnn or it can be a can for recyclables, savouring the best of what was but putting aside the remainder in case they can be resused another day by someone else.

Kathy, you have so many cans
And I see, no one will be that empty,
Two choices one can take,
Having a garbage or love can,
You said it well, it's up to everyone!
