Life's Struggles

Our encounters of life and its struggles Endowed amidst the peaceable silence, Crisp leaves veiling life, into a wonder Night curtly lull, in early calm slumber. Time will come, smile, welcome with elation, Then the lion's roar, perched on the loud sound Influence the tall emerald meadow Sated power of thunder spring rain flow. Life is, but a spirit of glory. A moment, a feeling, an embrace, We smile, we cry, we win, we lose, we rejoice, We're awakened, we come, we go, we have a choice. 3/4/2021 Life's Struggles- Any Form - Updated- Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Constance La France

Eve, Struggles, yes. No one to blame once we're adults. Spin a lucky fortune wheel, roll some loaded dice, play the top and bottom card. It's all the same to fate's three-card monte called life. -Richard

Congratulations on your win. A wonderful write. Your line, "We smile, we cry, we win, we lose, we rejoice," is so true. Life has so much in it and is so short. Have a blessed day................

We certainly have a choice - we were given a free will by God and Jesus, and our choices are noted by the angels and archangels in registers and kept in Gods libraries - that is how I see things. Lovely poem Eve, I loved it! hugs and blessings, Jennifer.
