Just love life
Enjoy the taste
A relished life
Won’t go to waste
Time will teach
And you will gain
It hurts at times
But through the pain
You learn to give
And to refrain
You learn that love
Must play the game
With sympathetic
Knowing glance
You want to shrink
But up and prance
The swallowed word
The listening ear
Just smile and trust
It will be clear
For at life’s end
When you are built
The truth will stand
And pretense wilt
