Life Thrown Away

Of ocean’s roar, dark tales are told Of swimmers dragged into its fold Incautious choices, foolish-bold Ne’er seen again, their bells have tolled Of hairpin turns on mountain roads Huge semis bid farewell to loads Then likely starts an avalanche Once boulders fall, they can’t be stanched When life’s not valued, thrown away To God we turn and fervent pray ~ Iambic Tetrameter ~

"When life’s not valued, thrown away To God we turn and fervent pray" -- death is never pleasant, for caring hearts like ours anyway. Blessings my friend.

Gershon, Very thoughtful, finding value in that which seems valueless. But all things have value, a spark. -Richard
