Quoth Theraven Poet Rhyme

As Life Willed It

Hello friend, I want to know
how to share more in this life..
Measure success in smiles(?)
gets more complicated each day.

Should be so simple it seems. 
You try to bring happiness
you succeed or suck..
That's life, that's luck.

A secret I want you to know
well not really much
a secret, as such
I'll share it, and hope
you will too.

Just share what you have
I will give everything 
as life willed it to 
all for you.

Sally Eslinger January 21, 2022 at 6:11 PM Ahhh, I need! I took years to learn to praise God for trials…still learning about that. But sharing all, while I am generous and charitable, and what you see is what you get…we’ll, Christ’s idea of sharing all, still working on that. A worthy, very well written poem. Good to see you, Richard!
