REALITY

Nothing Is Unforgivable

Some people can make our lives unlivable;
and we no longer feel like living;
some words or actions seem unforgivable;
it’s inconceivable to consider forgiving.

The frictions of life can be most demanding;
people can provide a challenging test;
each day brings forth a new misunderstanding;

A First Impression

When young; I was taught a valuable lesson;
one which all of us should heed;
there’s nothing quite like a first impression;
for those who wish to succeed.

When you meet someone for the first time;

Fashioned In Love

I recall watching football, on tv with dad;
more than half a century ago;

What happened to: “an eye for an
