Andrea Dietrich Poet Verse

Life

Ev’ry child born soon grows to taste the good and bad of life,

and whether fortune smiles on him or her – ev’ry child soon learns

that obligations likely follow. ‘Tis likely they will take a husband or a wife.

On offspring they oft times pin their dreams unrealized. The world still turns.

Connie Marcum Wong February 24, 2020 at 11:44 AM It is sometimes difficult to let our children choose their own path, especially when we see talent of what they could become. You convey this so beautifully in this poem Andrea. xxoo

Tom Cunningham February 23, 2020 at 1:03 AM He does have a lighters side although he will always be the dark mysterious poet. He certainly lead a turbulent life. Good luck. Tom

Caren Krutsinger February 22, 2020 at 10:29 PM It is a solid idea, and makes enormous sense as we stand back and see it happen over and over again. Nice one.
