Life Gift..

                             
Life is what it is you know,after all
a trouble, a bother, a great falderol.
A wonder, a gift, something so fine,
a heartache so wondrous, a link through our time;
a joy and a pleasure, a weekness, our strength,
a road to be taken, a lesson at length.

So when it is over and we go our way
there's something behind us that's left and will stay.
A memory brilliant. a foggy remind,
a look at a loved one. a chance to be kind;
a warning, a story, a benefit gold
when all of the missive our lives will unfold
