Life

 

Many a dilemma is there to ponder

Many a thought is there to wonder

Many a feeling there to savor

In life’s long and bitter behavior

 

Those around us not always stay

To influence our lives’ or even sway

Some come along and leave a mark

Other’s bite is worse than their bark

 

Being blood does not always mean

That fairness and caring are always seen

Those that have nothing in common

Can be the ones to help your burden

 

A friend in need is what it is

There for you in joy and disease

Not for coin or even a promise

Of a lasting friendship without fuss

 

Many come and stick around

Just to say hi and stand their ground

Many are there and silent be

Until needs become a raging spree

 

A true friend is one who is there

To hold your hand and in all share

To comfort you when times are bad

And join you in a life of nomad

 

Life is hard as you will agree

But is it harder than those you see

That go on living through thick and thin

With painful horror, no joy within

 

To think that you have all the qualms

Is wrong and will not fill your arms

If your feet are too tightly sealed

Others shoes may in fact  worse yield

 

Love is everything life has to offer

A joyful tear, the heart an author

But it can be a long damnation

From those that give no inspiration

 

A mother's love is most divine

Timeless caring and heart benign

It is strong and never ending

From the grave it’s always calling

 

Life is cruel for the most part

It’s what makes us stand apart

But sad it is when we are alone

No one there in the twilight zone
