Bad Is Good

If there were no bad days, we would never realise the value of good ones If we are never sad, we will never appreciate the joy of happiness If we don't fall sick, we will not realise the value of good health If we don't have any enemies, we will never realise the worth of good friends If there were no autumn, we would not appreciate the beauty of spring If there were no death, we will never enjoy life fully Juxtapositions make life interesting, propel us to count our blessings But for them life would be so boring! 31.07.2021 Chantelle Anne Cooke Anything You Want - Must be New Poem

Excellent write Rama, we do need to see the juxtapositions (love that word, it’s new to me) in life to realise how blessed we are. All the best for Chantelle’s contest… Belle

You did a great job! You have a great deal of untapped potential. The writing was amazing, Rama, we usually need bad times to appreciate the good ones, and the juxtapositions are a great way to keep life moving.
