That's Life

Life is sadness and
true love is rare but
compassion and kindness
are everywhere

understanding this
frees one from the pain
by being compassionate
everyone gains

for even true love
usually doesn't stay long
this world doesn't allow
beautiful flowers to last

since all of us souls
live forever it seems
compassion is the only love
the creator redeems

so try as we might
to make true love work
compassion and friendship
is the best we can do

C'est la vie
