Temporary Stay

Our stay in earth's realm is temporary, Live life to the full and leave a mark. Dwelling on flaws is unnecessary. Our stay in earth’s realm is temporary, Focus on things that make life merry. Have a carefree spirit like a lark. Our stay in earth’s realm is temporary, Live life to the full and leave a mark. *The inspiration for this poem came after I read “ Life's Journey” by Demetrios Trifiatis Contest: Try A Triolet Sponsor: Kim Merryman 05/20/2021

Love your call to embrace life, Alexis! Funny, just had a conversation with a friend about this very subject and how many people get chained with inertia then wonder where their life has gone. Congratulations on your win. Great theme for a triolet! Hugs :D!

Life on earth, to some, may seem long. But we have no idea of what eternity is.

There you go, Alexis. Great advice. Too much fussing, fighting and obsessing today over stuff that's only temporary anyway. :) gw
