Just How Life Works

As I sit here today and think-
life really goes in a blink.
People change-
and theres different pains.
You meet new people-
like water meets ripples.
You lose someone close-
that person is in heaven and everyone knows.
Some of us are as fragile as a rose.
and some some are really strong-
They think that nothing could go wrong.
Then here comes your love-
sweet as a dove.
Making you feel better-
like cold needs a sweater.
As you grow old-
your youth and beauty seem sold.
You watch your kids grow up-
their parents just love the luck.
Then unfortunately but lovingly you lay down
for final rest-
but happy to let life in heaven be your guest.
