Life's Like That

I wish you had to bare no pain
I wish we both could live this life again,
why fate as dealt us such a blow
understanding life’s script, I’ll never know,
yet if this the way it is meant to be
we’ll make the best of it just you and me,
when careful not to wish one’s life away
for who knows, what comes the very next day?

An amazing beauty flows in your lovely introspective Poem Harry. While reading its lines "why fate as dealt us such a blow, understanding life’s script, I’ll never know," one stops for a moment to ponder a fresh "What actually life is?" Beautiful write my friend and thank you for appreciating the series Poem 'Folk Love Story Tesu A Folk Love Story of India. Love and best wishes..Ravindra

We must always make the best out of our lives, some go through life without worries and sorrows .... but I think most people have a little bit of everything. - A little touching but good poem Harry. - Hope the first week of December will bring out some Christmas cheer :) - oxox / / Anne-Lise :)
