Life Is

Life is Life is never easy everyone will say it’s true Especially if the palette is a dismal shade of blue More than one can handle when the weight is far too much Loneliness and sorrow and some other things and such Life is not an object you can put upon a shelf Toss into a dresser drawer to keep it from yourself Paint it with a magic pen that’s filled with promised ink Hide behind a photograph no matter what you think Life is not a carpet you can vacuum day and night Gathering the fragments that have hidden there from sight Mix it in a blender till its creamy satin smooth Pack up in a cardboard box when you decide to move Life is not a fantasy with castles and their kings Paisley painted paragraphs or any written things Butterflies and daffodils along the garden wall Nor a day in springtime or an evening in the fall Life, though if you look at it can be so many things If you just turn in the past for what tomorrow brings For it can change, I know it can A beautiful display That’s why I’ve written down these words So to you I can say Life is what you make of it each morning you arise If you wear a smile as you open up your eyes You’ll find a world that’s beautiful out there for you to see So come on now, its waiting there see what your life can be Ok, not one of my best. But I hope you like it.
