The Wheels Of Life Poem by Ernestine Northover

The Wheels Of Life

Rating: 5.0


The wheels of life keep turning,
Propelling us along,
And as they go, we're learning,
To, be both soft and strong.

To take laughter, fun and pleasure,
To take grief, sadness and tears,
And when we've had full measure,
Along come other fears.

This world can be so splendid,
But also hard and cruel,
And as one hurt is mended,
Along comes a renewal.

So take each day, and value it,
Once gone it can't return,
Just treasure every single bit,
And give each your concern.

You understand 'The Wheels of Life'...we must keep rolling along as if each scene discovered is fresh. And we comre prepared ready to deal with it. Regardless of the overhaul...we can not show the repairs. L

I agree Ernestine, it is in the day by day happiness that you give and receive, that makes life wheels go on and onwards. A lovely poem of telling it the way it is. All the best to you and yours. Tai
