A Living Poem

The study of human beings are untold stories
We share richness in vast array of feeling
There are so many things we share
Yet, how many stranger's pass our way
We look away not wanting to get involved
In some one messy life,full of pain and suffering
The ones who smile even in the face of misery and pain
Our the true warriors of life
They still embrace life with such youthful adventure
One lady hair is covered in gray with saggy jowls
Her smile could melt the snow off an iceberg
Another man heart breaks for his wife had a stroke
She does not remember well, her heart if full of hope and faith
As I study the out line of a grave dug this May
Mourning my beloved death for the words I love you
Are heard on a breeze as it blows by,shaggy looking pines
His story has not ended for it still lives on in many hearts
We fill our life with many things,we think we want
Deep down we all want the same feeling
To be loved,cared for and remember someday as our time passes
Life is not what we always hoped for deep in our hidden hearts
Some how we live though it, I don't pretend to know the answers in life
What I do know each poem I write has human in it for they flavor life
