"Everything in life is fleeting. Our happiness will not last forever - but neither will our hardships."
There has to be balance in everything in life, Jack. There can never be only good or only bad times. Perhaps there are periods when one of these is more frequent than the other, but that too shall pass. As much difficulties as we may face, we simply have to remember that even though it may be storming inside our souls, outside is a beautiful day, but only if we allow ourselves to see it. :)
Look up at the sky, Jack. Because there are so many things to be happy about.
Waves can shed a tear" These lines really jumped out at me. This poem is amazing. Really I had to read over it a couple times and each time I took more and more of it in. I loved it. So much symbolism, just breath taking.

Thanks so very much Madalyn. I always enjoy your visits and your kindness towards me.
There is no limit to what you can do with words my friend...if this is practice, then your full-fledged efforts should win a Nobel Prize (or The Governor-General's Award up here). Really though, the rhyme and rhythm compliment each other as well as they can be complimented...having studied much of this kind of poetry, I came to the conclusion that the flow is the more important part of a ballad-like piece...the rhymes must be showcased, but if the poem doesn't flow naturally, they don't work as well. You have no such worries in that regard Jack. This is an awesome piece.
