Living [a poem]

By on • ( 60 Comments )

By Markie Doczi | Featured Contributor

Love and compassion, sorrow and strife
An uneven rhythm, this opus called life
Fate she is fickle, one day you’re stuck
And the next you may have a stroke of good luck

Sometimes you’ll be sad, when we lose those we love
We evaluate life and the frailty thereof
Often the small things make living worthwhile
The laugh of a baby, a hug or a smile

Yesterday’s gone, tomorrow’s a bet
The heart can’t survive that is torn by regret
So follow your dreams, learn from mistakes
And always think twice on decisions you make
