The Good Life Poem by Clarence Prince

The Good Life

Rating: 5.0


It can come quickly
It can go swiftly

It's quite slippery
It's fragile and sleazy

The good life
It has no favorite
It's an up and down

It secures no stability
Nor lasting sociability

It comes and it goes
For some it's a woe

That's the good life
It has no favorite
It's an up and down

All is not clear
Life seems unfair

Many are living slight
Others are living bright

That's the good life
It has no favorite
It's an up and down

Married or single
Live life peaceable

Live it carefully
Live it cheerfully

For the good life
Has no favorite
It's an up and down

In between up and down, happiness and sorrows life still flows and we witness the many changes within and around. Real essence it gives. Nice poem.

Oh isn't it so? It has no favorite. Splendid philosophy, right up front as clear as your nose. Offering no security, take it and enjoy it for what it is. Something I wish for the whole world. So well said my friend!

A great message, that should be reminded of every day, I have my fair share of off days but then I have those once that are quite good. The good life take the good with the bad. Great stuff
