Journey

We are all sojourners on this earth,
Though our lives be short or long.
We whom are of less than noble birth
May not find life a song.
Living is for the strong.

How true, Joyce. We don't know how long life will last, but it can be very trying just going from day to day sometimes. (Especially for those of us who are "of less than noble birth.") Maybe I should send this one to my sister. LOL Best wishes in Francine's contest. Great entry, dear. Love, Carolyn
