From the Cradle to a Grave

think about it by all means, but don't dwell on it ....

From the Cradle to a Grave

While life goes on

and memories

dwindle and fade

the same

question is asked

time and again ..

Is the march we

embark on

from a freshly

laid cradle

to an unmarked

yet not long

dug grave ..

A celebration,

charade,

parade or façade ..

But then

since there is no

such thing as an

unscripted life ..

Poorly edited

maybe or badly

produced ..

We shall just

have to wait until

the credits come out ..

It’s all an adventure which covers many of the things you have stated. What a boring film it would be if a few wobblers weren’t thrown into the mix. All part of life’s rich tapestry eh and mine is one of many fine textures and colours and it ain’t finished yet. Really good subject matter Neville to write about. Not only that we play the leading lady and man in our own individual life story. How about that?

Very wisely written. Life surely feels unpredictable but someone somewhere definitely has plans for each one if us. And so as u wrote, we should just wait and keep playing our assigned roles.

[Neville]

thank you Anjeline and both kindly & truly .. Neville :)

Nice writing Neville, lovely flow. Yes life is how you make it, not sure about the credits I think life is paid in full at the end.
