LIFE

Being born is never sad,
That was the day.
I was gifted a mum and dad,
Two brothers and a sister too.

Then one day to soon,
I turned into a kid.
From the beatings,
I always hid.

Then I turned into a lad,
School days for me.
Meant more beatings,
Life for me was sad.

Being bullied was
a way of life,
Until the day I found,
Myself a loving wife.

Who gave me two sons,
That I still adore.
Now with a lovely grandson,
My life is full. Who could
wish for anymore.

An appreciation for one's 'lot' is a rare commodity these days, and to express it even rarer. So good to know your life is in this state, Alan.

Poignant. And says what it needs to say very well, very effectively.
