As you make your way in this big world, <br />And as you start to slowly grow. <br />Many lives before you will unfurl, <br />So many folks you'll get to know. <br /> <br />So many hearts will touch your soul, <br />People from all walks of life. <br />Some will be tin, some will be gold, <br />Bringing you happiness, bringing you strife. <br /> <br />We are all destined to feel great love, <br />And sorrow follows right behind. <br />They go together, like hand and glove, <br />They really are two of a kind. <br /> <br />Somebody you've known all your days, <br />A friend, a lover, that special one. <br />One morning you'll find they've gone away, <br />Their days are finally over, finally done. <br /> <br />Great love, great sorrow brings, <br />You cannot separate the two. <br />They come from the maker of all things, <br />There's nothing anyone can do. <br /> <br />So learn to cope early in life, <br />And take the good times with the bad. <br />Some lose a husband or a wife, <br />You will be happy, but also sad. <br /> <br />So take the good times, when they come, <br />But know sorrow cuts like a knife. <br />There will be sadness until we're done, <br />You know my friend, thats only life. <br /> <br />7/4/10 Alton Texas<br /><br />Juan Olivarez<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/life-1201/
