Life's Trials

                   Life's Trials

        Life, all of our yesterday's todays...

becoming our tomorrows.

        Some filled with happiness, others,

With deep sorrow.

        Life, yesterday's beginning, today's

Learning, tomorrow's forgetting.

        Life, tears and sorrow, happiness and

Joy...connected by being and doing.

        Living, loving and dying.    Some...

Just get by...

         Others get through life... really trying.

probably the theory of life..but sometime the chapter contents the pages of sorrow keep a good length in the index..specially line ' Life, yesterday's beginning, today's

Learning, tomorrow's forgetting. ' is very beautiful

[Ted Kniffen]

Loved this take on life, Kathie, well said. The form is a little out of the ordinary for you, but it makes your lines stand out that much more. Good write.

Ted, when writing for the newspaper, they seemed to lay a write out for the space allotted. This could have been 4 lines in a notebook. Kathie

[Jack Necron (Aubrey Jac..]

Much wisdom and truth written here. Life does have a sort of rippling effect. Sometimes our yesterdays impact our tomorrows, and vice versa. We have to live for today, learn from yesterday and prepare for tomorrow. You express a strong lesson that rings true for us all. Thank you for sharing!

Jack, it is best to live for today and not let yesterday get in the way. Kathie

[Jack Necron (Aubrey Jack Peaslee)]

Very much so, you risk being trapped into place that way.

[Barbara Borel]

So very true life really is about all of these.... today I am really trying

[Valentine]

That is all that we can do Barb, never give up or give in...that's my motto. Kathie

[wordman]

today is yesterdays tomorrow ,and today will be yesterday soon,so live for the day,because there is no tomorrows

[Valentine]

Ron, that is true, sometimes just waking up in the morning is living in the past. Kathie

[jacob erin-cilberto]

this is beautiful and so true...

reminds me of a Glen Close line in "The Natural"

"i feel we have two lives, the one we learn from and the one we live with after that"----

we live the today's to forget the yesterday's and try to be better on the tomorrow's...

[Valentine]

How true Jacob. Every day is a learning experience that we should grow from. I like your last line. Kathie
