We Travel Through Life Like Feathers. Poem by David Boyce

We travel through life like feathers.

We travel through life like feathers,
Going from place to place,
Taking our time in the thermals,
Wherever it takes you without a race.

Taking life as it comes so easy,
Like travelling on the breeze,
Everything going perfectly,
And life being lived with ease.

Some may suffer ruffled feathers,
As their daily life goes on,
Living life just for today,
Because tomorrow we could be gone.

For some will get into turbulent situations,
Then get repeatedly mentally pounded,
Not much more they can do like floating feathers,
Once they fall and they are grounded.

Like many people who fly through life,
They seem to go on forever,
But for others there are obstacles,
Just like the seasons and the bad weather.

So when you have great opportunities,
You need to look what you can take,
To help you through obstacles and turmoil,
And a more comfortable life for you to make.
