A Poem

Sometimes, I write poetry. I can’t do it on demand, it has to come naturally. This one just burbled out of me last night. I have no idea where it came from.

 

to do is to live

crying losing

to live is to do

winning laughing

 
 

crying losing

loving someone

winning laughing

losing someone

 
 

loving someone

catastrophe

losing someone

helping strangers

 
 

catastrophe

extended hands

helping strangers

Making friends

 
 

extended hands

to do is to live

making friends

to live is to do

 

life is not a spectator sport

 

This poem is a testament to all of those people who give of themselves so freely; something the rest of us should do and don’t. So this poem is dedicated to the people who try their hardest to make this world a better place. May more of us join their ranks in the coming year.
