Notes About The Poem

For Bitesize No99 Poetry Contest sponsored by Line Gauthier

Time's Paradox

You would think I'd leave every kind of woe
in the by and by and the long ago,
and each awful, agonizing pain, 
I'd never want to live over again.
Yet, when I recall my young heart broke in half, 
I softly chuckle, sigh, and laugh.

Thanks Margaret! I'm glad you could relate to it, somewhat, if in a good way.
