The Ingredients Of Our Lives Poem by Lyn Paul

The Ingredients Of Our Lives

Rating: 5.0


Watching people
Just walk by
Some rushing
Some lovers
Sharing food
Some free, enjoying life
Others I can see
The pain of life in their eyes
Young
Old
Different nationalities
Different shapes and sizes
Eye contact made
Starts me thinking
About life
Their life
The smiles
The frowns
Such happy children
Colours so vibrant
Personalities
All finding their own way
The ingredients of our lives
Like
Chalk, Cheese, Chives, chilli, chowder, chocolate
Like bubbles of champagne
Ups, Downs
Highs, Lows
Sunshine, Rain
Sweet, sour
Rich, poor
All finding their own way

A Beautiful poem with a Great message. Very true said Lyn.... The Ingredients of each life is different though all are human beings, though they look different but when hungry all search for their ingredients which they can afford. Beautiful way you have presented it. Loved reading it.

Stories of our lives all different, like colours of the rainbow, we love, we cry, as we ask the question why? But we survive to face a new and brighter day! Insightful and beautiful write!
