Bit of Truth and Wisdom, Found In Old Age

Bit Of Truth And Wisdom, Found In Old Age At that age wisdom says life is a joke consider blindness of other poor folk. Stop to ponder why on earth we exist you may just find giving on that big list. To live well, love hard and thus procreate easy to see easier to relate. Living life together with your soulmate should be a part of everybody's Fate! Finding life is not about what you got should be holding solid, number one spot Tis more about life lived well and deeper with one you found, knew to be a keeper If long life, happiness is your great aim if reaching not for it, you are to blame! Robert J. Lindley, 1-16-2017 Sonnet

Thank you my friend. The kind and uplifting comments here are great food for the writing soul! I being well fed, just wrote and posted here a new sonnet this morn. Its about poetry, its true message of love and giving with opening up one's own heart to bleed for others to see and perhaps feel not so alone with their own worries, troubles and personal woes..

Words of wisdom in this powerful sonnet, Robert; as spoken by one who has lived the sonnet. This goes to my favorite list. Elaine

Thank you my friend. I see now two poets that adhere to and know the truth in a true poet's heart. In my opinion poetry is about giving, giving to others - if not why write it? I condemn not, why people may or may not write poetry. I merely point out that -if it is not about giving to others-why bother?
