Life Is Short

My mountain man was born in June. He could do everything, even lasso the moon. No problem was too big for him to undertake, Even if it was a fixture that he had to make. He was like Paul Bunyan, chopping trees and cutting wood, To keep his little house as warm as he could. In business he was about as hard a worker as they come. To be astute and shrewd was his rule of thumb. He and his wife owned a business and did all right. Lots of good things were bought to their delight. But the most important thing that had the highest cost, Was the love they had for each other they somehow lost. Now the two people that loved each other for years, Cannot be in the same room without valid fears. What happened to their love that began years ago? Greed crept in, and they did not even know. They should have been retiring together, holding hands on the beach. Instead they are going separate ways, and thinking of the breach. Money is not everything, there is only so much life you live. Value the love you have, and in your heart forgive.
