Phyllis Babcock Poet Free verse

Ups and Downs In Life

Life comes with moments of sadness
touched with moments of pain
but it also comes with moments of joy
I have loved, lived and breathe
the upsides and the downsides of life
I have sacrificed many things
indulged in the finer things
I gave love, received love, found love
and lost love
I have experienced the good and bad
in all that life has to offer
The ups and downs and turnarounds
You build up you get torn down only
to turn and start to rebuild again
Knowing in all this I was never alone
God always walks beside me
until the day he decides to call me home.

The Situation May 25, 2022 at 4:32 PM I picture you a married woman. The usual innoccent kind. Nothing scandolous to admit to just for being wise. Clint Eastwood played your movie in The Bridges of Madison County. The once and only time you'd care to admit.
