Notes About The Poem

Existence - Be Happy

painting life's portrait
                       smiling faces on earth
                         barefoot happy kid.

               
                          read mom's story
                  before eyes close and journey
                        lives forever young.

                         love so tenderly
               heart filled with our memories
                       happiness reveals.

My comment was an observation not a criticism. Some endings are sad. Personally I think version one is best because that was what you felt when writing. Don't let a comment colour your art. Hugs Rick
