Analysis of Life's Ebbs And Flow
Joe Strickland 1986 (Hobbysville, SC)
Endless days turn into nights,
Enduring love and all its fights,
Eager eyes that seek the light,
Elevated thoughts that take flight.
Ephemeral moments come and go,
Euphoria felt from head to toe,
Enigmatic dreams that we bestow,
Enraptured by life's ebb and flow.
Ensconced in memories that stay,
Emotions felt and words we say,
Expanding hearts in every way,
Enchanted by life's grand display.
Echoes of laughter and tears,
Elevate the soul and calm fears,
Endowing courage through the years,
Eternal love that perseveres.
