Home Spun Poetry


Hard Times

Hard times last longer so it seems
When the miseries of life torment the soul
There appears no hope in your despair
No happiness that will console

And yet, even life's misery has its place
It enhances the simple joy of life
Things we once took for granted
Are manifest when rising from the strife

How much more we appreciate love
When we have been forsaken
Health after illness, strength when it returns
All the good things there to be taken

Misery and woe are easy to attain
But happiness needs some work
No bird sings if we turn a deaf ear
No light shines if in darkness we lurk

Seek love and you will prosper
Have the strength to survive
Care about yourself, and be cared for
Be thankful that you are at least, alive.
