Memories, Long Ago Poem by Darwin Henry Beuning
Memories, Long Ago
My oldest daughter
Kim
As a teenager
Her favorite expression
'That's not fair'
I would say
No one ever said
Life would be fair
I would rush
And get her
Birth Certificate
Have her check it out
Read the small print
Front and back
Not to be found,
'Life will be fair'
The only guarantee
'A last breath'
this will appear in December 2018's showcase....if all goes as planned. (: bri Thanks.
i 'love' your Poet's Notes! ! :) i must now determine IF i have a birth certificate; rumor has it that i, like The Man of Steel, arrived here from another planet in a 'space vehicle'. if i find one, i shall endeavor to find the guarantees, if any, which came to me at birth! ! ! ice cream daily? ? ? bri ;) to MyPoemList. p.s. Don't give Kim any more 'ideas.
How many times have other parents heard the same thing? Life will always continue to be unfair. If life were fair, I would have all of Donald Trump's money, and he would have real hair! Hmmmmm... you may have just given me an idea for a new poem!

A NZ sportsman, whose son was killed in Bali, said: 'Life is not fair. Nothing is fair'. A fair comment on life. As your last lines say, the birth certificate is linked to the death certificate. A poem I will remember.
