Notes About The Poem

1/6/2025 for Triolet Contrast Poetry Contest sponsored by Hilo Poet

Young and Old

To young and old, come death and birth,
and both will need someone to care.
A hello and goodbye to earth,
to young and old, come death and birth.
Let's recognize their special worth
and gifts of love that both do share.
To young and old, come death and birth
and both will need someone to care.

Thanks Anisha! I'm glad you liked it, especially since, you're right, it is a bit simple.
