That we are given <br />Are not ours to keep <br />All we get is the moment <br />A minnow of time to borrow <br />And soak up sunshine days <br />Birdsong gifts of stormy winds <br />And the thunder in our hearts <br /> <br />Having felt the wonder of irony <br />And reflected hard on my life <br />I say let the tears fall like raindrops <br />Drenching the soul cleansing <br />That awful sad gasp of growth <br />And pain each and every day<br /><br />Jeffrey SpahrSummers<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/all-things/
