Their Sum

There are days
meant for living
and there are those
that are unforgiving.

Dreams can soar
and fly so high
and they can fall
and wither and die.

Life can be easy
a joy to feel
or feed you poison
and make you reel.

Loving can be
a precious thing
or all your blood
from you wring.

(click the pic for a preview of my upcoming book!)

The sum of these
can happiness make
or punch you out
and make you break.
