Life Happens

So many books, magazine articles, and television programs glorify the aging process.  Don't believe any of it!  It's all just wishful thinking.

Robert Browning's poem

"Grow old along with me.
The best is yet to be.
The last of life, for which the first was made.
Our times are in His hands."

Oh yeah! Ask all the grieving, sad, and lonely widows and widowers if this is the best time of their lives.Daily life becomes a struggle when their dearly beloved partners are only past memories.

Yes, we all know that death is inevitable and inescapable.  John Lennon's music "Life is happening while we are making other plans," is so true.

My poetry:

Up and downs
Smiles and frowns
Life goes on

Bliss and sorrow
Today and tomorrow
Life goes on

Sun and rain
Health and pain
Life goes on

Young and old
Hot and cold
Life goes on

Good and bad
Happy and sad
Life goes on

Laugh and cry
Live and die
Life goes on
