A crust of bread and a corner to sleep
A minute to smile and an hour to weep!
A pint of joy and loads of trouble
Little laugh and the mourns come double!
Bit of love and a bunch of haters
Joy that turns to sorrow by traitors!
When a true love that comes your way
Then the loneliness that grabs you away!
Oh man, this is life and it’s hard
Live and prove that you aren’t a coward!

Oh dear…. You are so sweet. 💕💕💕 I am bit busy as we have shifted home this week and I’ve caught up with many many works. So couldn’t think much about writing. And am finding it difficult to read or comment in other posts too. 😣😣😣
Thank you dear for your concern. It makes me feel happier. Probably will be back to track after a week or so but not sure. You are so loved! 💕🤗
But I wish to come back soon… Loads of love to you ❣️❣️

Well composed and not a absolute truth. More of a hypothetical one! Some have more joyous moments than tears. Loved the rhyming by the way!

Thank you poet for noticing the rhyming. 💕 🤭 Appreciate your stand against this. May be few are lucky to have fun and laughter throughout their lives. And there are few whose life is as hard as the things I’ve mentioned. 😊😊

Both are true! Sometime, I almost feel guilty for having such a perspective while so many people are fretting over the chaotic times. I pray all could heal and begin to have more joy and an appreciation even for the struggles! Thank you for understanding!
