"Sic est vita" - Thus is Life
Tattoo this line challenge
Some things in life you can’t control,
Even if you would like.
Other things that happen conjure feelings of dislike,
Some things you fight with heart and soul,
“Sic est vita,”
Thus is life.
Life is a chain of lessons,
Some good, but some are bad.
Some are so gut-wrenching, you end up oh! so sad,
Your life seems full of concessions,
“Sic est vita,”
Thus is life.
And when you reach a ripe old age,
You scroll back on each life episode,
And try to ease your heavy load,
Ahead of your time to disengage,
“Sic est vita,”
Thus is life.
******
Till next time,
Calvin
