Array ( [sid] => 22302 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => Life is a Fickle Thing [time] => 2003-08-24 17:25:00 [hometext] => Well, it was originally going to be about my kitten, who died recently :( but it kind of branched off into different stuff, even though it does mention a few discreet things about my kitten and her life and death and stuff. [bodytext] => Life is a fickle thing
That leaves as suddenly
As it came
Leaving broken hearts
And falling tears
Behind

Life can leave
At the close of a door,
The lift of a box,
Or the turn of a car

It can be painful
Or painless
The second before
You take your last breath

Death can come in many ways,
The breaking of a neck,
The crunch of a spine,
Or the failing of a car

You never know
When life will come
And decide to leave or stay
Or sometimes leaves and comes back

It always gives you
Twists and turns
Like a winding road
You will never know
What will happen
Until it happens
Day by day

Life does not last for forever
For life is a fickle thing
But life creates life
So a part of that life
Will stay awhile
And come or go
For life is a fickle thing [comments] => 1 [counter] => 215 [topic] => 25 [informant] => Nsa [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 1 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => MiscPoems )
