Forever....such a pretty word Whenever it’s applied. To something pleasant in our lives That we wish would abide..... Forever young- ah, what a thought! Forever strong and brave... Not victimized by age,.... disease Nor haunted by the grave. Forever with someone we love- And never all alone... Nor so by censure be beset That we despair and groan. Forever to have peace of mind- Not haunted by regret- Of things we’ve done, or things we’ve said Or people we have met. Forever true to our own selves- And not be plagued by shame. To lose our pride and self-respect To never be regained. Forever? What a dreadful word When we stop and consider- That life is not composed of sweet But also holds the bitter.

LOL Bitter indeed, glad I am that life is somewhat short for I think the bitter lingers on the tongue longer than does the sweet. ------------------ Now and forever, my heart hears ~one voice~.

Gunslinger: This is so true! If I were offered to live forever in these conditions I think I would pass. Forever is such a strong word. Great poem!  |

Slinger - Thought-provoking piece. I think we all find that life holds a little of each ... I'd like to believe that sweet forevers overide the bitter times by far. ------------------ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Hmmm....I've never thought of it that way, thanks for the new perspective. |
