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
The variables of life are well explained in the simplest manner! ! Nice to read!
Excellent poem! I love the parallels, so elegantly placed and timed, still holding profound interpretation of life. Thank you Valerie!
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.
