Life can be a little cruel at times, <br />With all it's twists and turns. <br />And though there's plenty of warning signs, <br />Oft times you will get burned. <br /> <br />There's pain, and strife, and lots of tears, <br />To shed along the way. <br />Sometimes the sun just never clears, <br />The dark grey clouds away. <br /> <br />And all around you people will fall, <br />And yes while in their prime. <br />But you never see it on the wall, <br />Yet it becomes their time. <br /> <br />Look at old photographs and see, <br />Just how many have gone away. <br />Someday it will be you and me, <br />No, we, are not allowed, to stay.<br /><br />Juan Olivarez<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/life-can-be-a-little-cruel/
