The Ills of Us Humans

The future will forever be unknown Predicting what lies just around the bend There are so many variables Can ever be a stretch of the imagination To be imagined or be foreseen It's just not part of the human condition Oh well some things in life Are just not meant to be The colour of grass the leaves on the trees Varying shades of green The sky being a cerulean blue It makes the world such a beautiful place

This is such a beautiful piece. It may first appear simple, but what you are speaking about is complex. “ There are so many variables” —so true! Loving your wise words. Always, Laura

Your words make me smile dear Laura! We humans are such a small part of a wonderful experience that get to around only once... what a pity!!! Love Happy Jack XOX

lt is a beautiful place isn't it Jack? Your poem is a breath of fresh air. Written just right. lf only folk would take time to look around at the beauty that surrounds us instead of grumbling about trivial things.
