Life Is Flowers

I saw the flowers you left in my flower vessels A pink one and a white one It was a nice surprise I love the necklaces you got for me You said, from your collection of necklaces A pearl one and a silver one You have been a great addition to my life All your little friends that you introduce me too Are like flowers, beautiful, adorable and innocent But another friend says maisha ni maua (life is flowers) It blossoms today but it withers tomorrow Marriage signatures sometimes on the same line with divorce signatures Divorce sure sucks But seeing another friend all sunshine happy Happy more than she has for years She says, she feels like a load has been taken off her back Divorce is her road to happiness, the one thing she was deprived in her marriage Even in divorce, there are flowers to pick

that's well written and indeed "Maisha ni maua"- it has time to rise and fall with time.

I am sure there are many people who can relate to this and are happier when the marriage ended than they were previously - I guess it proves life isn't a bunch of roses - lovely write Njeri:-) hugs Jan xx7
