What I'Ve Learnt About Life

I use to sit and wonder What life was all about Spent my days & nights Wandering all around Is it about the enjoyment When I was playing like a child To use my imagination To know It's all worthwhile To know I was truly loved When my momma tucked me in Playing with my father Then he huged me with a grin Then the moment came, When life Wasn't fun anymore I got a taste of death It left me crippled on the floor Sorrow moved in Like a storm to the west The death of my grandmother Broke my heart, that lies in my chest Then growing older,anger & envy came about It fueled my life for many years Until I decided just to kick them out Happiness is wholesome Sorrow is never good Jealousy is dangerous Hatred Itself; is just an awful word By no means am I the wisest, man around But I think it's just about living And enjoying all that life offers Even, when the rain is coming down R.K.H. 10/19/2021
