The Contrasts Of Life
I am so blessed
I have lived such a life
Sure there's been bad times
Periods of trouble and strife
But why would I let these moments
So petty in the length of living
Fill up and torture my mind
When the rest of existence so giving
The places I've been
The things I have done
The love I've experienced
Under stars and bright sun
The things I've been gifted
The knowledge I've learnt
The people I've loved
Into my heart it's all burnt
Into a thing of beauty
A carving of art
Etched into my soul
And into my heart
But true art need contrast
The darkness in parts
To highlight the bright spots
Of the painting in our hearts
