Life

Some people say life’s a bummer Some people say it’s like summer And within the joyous smiles for a new born Lie the tortured tears of grieving scorn. Some people say life is to learn Some people say it can hurt and burn And within the lessons of flight or fane Lie the toils and spoils of pleasure and pain. Some people say don’t worry it’s all just life Some people say it cuts like a knife And within the losses, the takes and the give Lies the truth of it all, life is to live.

A very thought provoking poem Janine with great rhyming. Powerful lines,’ Lie the tortured tears of grieving scorn’. The last two lines are wonderful and profound. Really enjoyed reading it. Good luck with the contest. Have a great weekend. Xx :):)
