Gloating at Life Whenever I emmerge from pits of strife I wallow in the glory of my win And tend to gloat victoriously at Life To think that I subdued the likes of him It seems while I’m still basking in the glow He moves the painful pole up one more notch Life then decides to deal another blow And then sits back triumphantly to watch I vow to wage more vigorous a war Determined to outdo my callous foe Buoyed up by battle scars I’d earned before I muster all the strength God may bestow Some times I have to grant Life victory He flouts in gloating smirks right back at me Elizabeth Santos |

Hi LIZ...missed you this is so different from how you usually write, but I like the power of it and the touch of irony. yes, some times we have to let life have its little victory...but it does make us stronger for the next battle. then we can wipe that smirk of his face... take care, sweet poet friend. jm |

Elizabeth, this is refreshingly different. ~~very nice writing~~ dh A life isn't significant except for its impact on other lives. |
