Life

Charmaine Bartlett

Life has seared my heart's lungs,

and left me gasping-

shattered, destroyed.

I stand yet again,

with questions untold.

Sorrow and pain known well,

like old friends.

Despair, Loneliness.

These I have known

with desperation untold.

Yet, cherish I this time,

and each moment revere.

Loving eyes and children's words

bring sweetness to my soul

with passion untold.

      The real struggle of life, is living through what it gives you.
