    Get Real

     How nice to have a sunny sky
    And summer all the time,
    (space)
    How nice to have no bumps or hills
    That we will have to climb,
    (space)
    How nice to only have to ford
    A gentle, quiet stream,
    (space)
    How nice to always beat the game, 
    Be on the winning team,
    (space)
    How nice to have a guarantee
    Of friends, success and smiles,
    (space)
    But that won't make us strong enough
    To get through all these miles.
    (space)
    The promises that are enough
    Are strength to win the race,
    (Space)
    A guide when we have lost our way,
    And mercy, love, and grace.

    I like the title and how you moved into the message in the first few verses; sans spaces, but I'm not sure the last four lines say enough to be needed in closing this piece... A good write though..

    Okay, that one I'll think about. I wanted the ending to show that it isn't always easy, but we have help when we really need it. Maybe I can find a different way to put it, or maybe, as you said, it is complete without the last lines. I'll put time into thinking about it.

    If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.

    Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) American poet.
