Sometimes life stretches our core
We wonder why we can’t just live
Maybe recklessly
Or uncompassionately
Minding less about others but ourselves
Enjoying our company even if it is wrong

We are thought to be fools after all
Or are we not?
Why does everyone have their way with us?
Why are we always the victims in a tragedy?
Why do others take pleasure in our pain
Yet our sight is weak and light dim

Dialogue doesn’t solve
No! Anger won’t either
Cause we know there is more love
Within us to give than pain to nurture
We learn on this part of eternity
That there are no losses for us only lessons
And we will treasure them void of any due bitterness or misery
