Just Clowning Around

Just clowning around
so try not to frown
 ———
In living this life
I’ve made mistakes
hard it can be
but here’s my take

Grow a backbone
don’t lose heart
be kind and gentle
friends never will part

Eclipse with love
those you hold dear
cause they will not be
evermore near

Search for small miracles
everyday
Give of yourself
And of your pay

Now I ain’t no Angel
No Sirree
I’ve eaten an apple
from Eden’s tree

Snakes did whisper
in my ear
always walk tall
showing no fear

A conundrum 
I am
Bruised and broken
but if this was a ride
I’d sprout wings to fly

Good life philosophy. We all have bitten the apple; we just have to pick ourselves up and start again. Nicely written.

I've taken a bite of that apple, too, Jayne. You offer some good advice in this interesting poem! Love, Carolyn
