Each one gives, each one takes
Sometimes loves, then foresakes
Each one wins, each one fails
Weighs the cost, tips the scales
Each to come, each to go
Rising high, sinking low
Each one came, each one left
Hearts to bind, hearts bereft
Each one laughs, each one cries
Each one lives, each one dies
Each one wins, each one fails Weighs the cost, tips the scales .... Each one came, each one left Hearts to bind, hearts bereft Each one laughs, each one cries Each one lives, each one dies It happens to us all. Sometimes it's good to know that others can relate our varied experiences. Beautifully expressed. 10
Very well said condensed life poem. Short, simple, poignant, on point.
Like it, if we live, we die, it's what each one of us does in that time that counts. A great poem.
A fatalistic, truthful dose of realism, done with a swift and clever swipe of your pen-concise
Outstanding work of art! Your clever words are so filled with life! Constance Yost
The cycles of life eloquently expressed with fine rhyme and meter.
This rings with the purity of a vision, seen over the full course of a lifetime. Excellent.
