Dislikes
Bullies, Liars, Trolls and dishonest cruel people
A life so long, a life well spent ?
To breathe this life, until it went
A young rascal of a boy, so full of cheek
Would find, one day, life would peek

Poverty, hardship and want surrounded him,
A hard life to crack
He would make himself a good life
And never look back

A solider, fighting to survive
The countries to save and peoples lives
Courage, bravery, valour and hope,
He would survive

He came upon a girl, he liked the look of her
To join together in perfect matrimony
Loves dreams, so new and untainted
Would find that life, ain't what it stated

Long working hours, working away
Was it worth it, day after day ?
The stories he could tell
Would make you smile and keep you well

A cheery smile, a happy soul
A father, a husband and always a friend to behold
With a drink or two, lots of money spent
A life full of spending, with stories told

An older person now, was this life well spent ?
Memories forgotten, dwindled and ebb away
Older bones, breath and life are going astray
Now a light is upon him, flickering, but here to stay

What was his life?
Now, beyond the walls of darkness, that fall brick by brick
Will come an ending, that cannot be fixed
But it was a wondrous life.................... and a life, never to be missed
