Reflection: Truth

 This poem was inspired by a truth about life, which seems relevant in this age of Covid. Poem was published in 2016.

Truth


life a gift,

undeserved,

a jail sentence,

or a vacation to the tropics,

neither everlasting,

death to be faced,

sooner or later,

let's stop the pretending,

life not ours to own,

only a gift,

and death not easily controlled.
