Life's Scars (Poem No. 604)
Life's scars
According to them,
"The world is round";
But why it is like a rubber
ball that bounce?
I often think its hexagon,
'Cause so many
Twist and turns!
The person you deeply despise
Can rouse your BP, 'tis true;
Annoyance in your heart
will rise at thing like
a rampage monkey do;
If you forget to pray,
You will take the scorn
Seriously;
Either you fire back
Or die of heart attack.
Why is it the sweetest grace,
Are oft to stranger shown?
And the meanest treat,
and the frowning face,
Are given to our own?
We flatter to those we barely know,
We please the passing guest,
After they leave
we deal a many thoughtless blow
To those who love us the best.
As I live this long
I found the amazing truth;
Love does not always grow
Like grains we spread in the stoney meadow.
To all of us through love's greatest test;
We learn the fact
The only folks that can deeply hurt us,
Are the one we love the most
And trust.
