Life

Life good days and bad days. Days to recall, days I will forget. I have learned much from life. Many friends stay forever, some break your heart along the way. We grow learning more about ourselves, life is fun, hard and many times painful. As many keep saying life must go on, days turning into weeks then to years. We ask where did all the time go? Time and life seem to be friends, as walking hand and hand. As I sit I wait, enjoying time. Cool breeze with- old dreams, End.

Beautiful Etheree with all your life experiences encapsulated. Life gives us a mixed pack. We have to accept both the pleasant side as well as the bitter side. As time goes, 'we grow learning more about ourselves'. So very true. Beautifully written poem, dear Paula.

Paula, Outstanding poem revolves with the change from vitality to contemplation. Enjoy the air on our faces and reflect on past dreams. As we get older, do we become wiser?
