Funny, Isn'T It? Poem by Esther Leclerc

Funny, Isn'T It?

Rating: 5.0


It is funny, isn't it,
how fast one can go
from joy to sorrow
down life's twisty road.

It makes her laugh
even as she cries...
Turn the other cheek
or let love die.

So, he called you a liar,
he says it's true,
no matter what you say
or what you do.

'Tis soul-killing
to suffer so,
to be thought as less
than the truth you know...

Well, time goes on
and another day comes;
feel the soft air, the sweet warm sun
and hold fast to this truth:
that you aren't over; life is far from done.


(9.3.06 - The sun shines for you too, Little Spirit. You're not finished yet...)

Esther, this is a very touching poem. Your warmth and compassion carry the sad truth you share. 'To be thought as less than the truth you know' is a fine expression of an awful reality and yet you have managed to keep the sun of optimism shining at the end. A beautiful tribute, Esther. love, Allie xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

And Little Spirit is most fortunate to have a friend like Essemee, from whom to draw her strength as well. Lucky lady! Scarlett

So often true; but with a sense of hope nonetheless.

It must be awful to tell the truth, and be called a liar! ! (Even worse than lying, and people believing you.) I don't know the person who is the subject of this fine dedication/tribute...but I do know that it's Esther's truth... Fine work :) Jack.
