Life.... Kicks A*s But Also Can Be Wonderful & Great..

Well the Devil has entered the house

and I will not let him win

Yes at times

he gets to us

and really makes us suffer

and feel he is winning.

But with love, faith, hope

and encouragement

from

others who do care.

And time.

Is all we can do is

wait and see What will be

will be.

If good things are to happen

that is wonderful and great.

If bad?

I will have to

deal with the best I can.

Life is strange and tragic

at times. But also wonderful

and great other times.

We all only have one chance

to live. So grasp it with both

hands and hold tight

and simply enjoy.

Nicely crafted chant of acceptance. Life is so much easier when we finally stop fighting against things that happen & just use them as stepping stones to better understanding. Your poem shows life in a balanced way with emphasis on how to capture the joyful parts (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

I must agree with your inspiring poem and Coyote’s awesome review and hope we all hang on to life and enjoy it while we can. It is real, it is here and it is now. Love the power of your first two lines- never let the Devil win. Great poem, memorable and well-written dear Dee.

Dee - this is a powerful message. You're right, when the going is smooth we must enjoy the ride. When it is rough and tumble we must hold on with both hands, dig in with our knees and heels and refuse to be thrown - ride it out.
Take care - Dave

You can only control the way you respond to what happens in life. Stuff happens.
I like the message, as well as the words.
