Life: A Marvelous Mixture

Sometimes life is quite difficult filled with torture and pain. However, the joys outnumber the woes when you have the right attitude and lover beside you.

————

Bullies gave me grief in grade school.

Siblings soaked me with sorrow with solidarity.

Teeth twisting torture produced a striking smile.

Parents patiently protected their petite precocious daughter.

Dance delighted but made muscles filled with discomfort.

Family fights hurt my heart and filled my head with throbbing.

College times were filled with hours of study and stings from home.

Love at last erased years of agony with days of delight.

Life is a marvelous mixture of pain, pleasure, and promise.
