Three Companion Triolets

I did not seek earthly wealth or fame My life has been rich and full, indeed I have tried to fairly play the game I did not seek earthly wealth or fame In truth, many people know my name Seems I have sown plenty of good seed I did not seek earthly wealth or fame My life has been rich and full, indeed. I had the privilege of a loving faithful wife We worked daily side by side together We were always careful to avoid strife, Negative attitudes, enemies, and lowlife Having a strong belief in the good life We planned to be together forever I had the privilege of a loving faithful wife We worked daily side by side together. It has been utter joy planting good seed In this garden I proudly call my life Along the way I helped some souls to feed It has been utter joy planting good seed My life has been rich and full, indeed I have sought to bring pleasure, not strife It has been utter joy planting good seed In this garden I proudly call my life.

Thanks so much, Caren. I love this form but rarely write three of them so closely intertwined. I'm glad you liked it.
