Another Porch ...A Poetry Blog: This Life Is Not Carefree

This life is not carefree

Its give-and-taking schemes

Are not always budget-friendly

Or mindful of our dreams

The flying colours of

Accomplishment’s success

Are cradled in a fragile glove

Of heartache and distress

The ‘something very nice’

We seized with 'hip-hooray'

Was but the laud of sacrifice

On altars of Today

Reminding us again

How fundamental, trust

Without it who could bear the pain

Of time’s determined dust

Emphasizing anew

We hold a gifted Strand

And life is but the avenue

Back to the Giver's Hand

Midst high-fives and low-blows

We traipse time's strafing sod

While weathering life’s wows and woes

But by the grace of God

Easy-street, none can claim

For if we could who would applaud

Or call upon His name

All they asked was that we should

continue to remember the poor...

Gal.2:10
