" BITTER, SWEET LIFE '

It's Important Not
To Take For Granted
The Things, Given Us
In This World

God, Our Families
And, Our Friends

They Are Not
Our Property Nor
Our Possessions

Like Time, They Too
Are Very Precious

It Is Good, To Enjoy Life
In Every Possible Way

But,We Must Be Mindful
For The Things,We Do
And Say

Everything, Is Not Always
Suitable And Nice

Mistakes Can Be Costly
Sometimes, They 
Come With A Price

Remember, While You're
Living This Life

It Comes With Pain
And Sometimes
A Little Strife

But, Don't Be
Misunderstood,There Is
A Lot Of Good

Whether Your Living Up
In The Penthouse,
Or Down In The Hood........

You Got To Take
The Good With The Bad

To Allow Oneself To
Be Truly Happy
Is To Know, What It
Means To Be Sad

Remember, In Life
No Matter
Where You Go
Or Who You Meet

Sometimes, You Got
To Take The Bitter
With The Sweet.......

i hear you sweetheart you are so right if you don't pay attention when you're going through in you pain and suffering you miss the whole point of why you went through it and the people in you life that you care about are very important because they themselves go through things to so we can't act like we are the only person in life that matters

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
