The Ponderable of Life (No Other But You)

The Ponderable of Life

Together we will walk in stride 
amidst the din and drabness of life.     

Come with knives of hatred.
Come with the coldness of the snow.
Come with your nagging in tow.
Come with complaints between
your forehead and your toe.

Come like a summer dawn
to greet the day to sing
the hopes and  dreams that the morrow
with happiness may bring.

Send them all:
   your concerns,
     your regrets,
        your sorrows,
I'll be there for you.
with my undying love.

We are engaged on a life's journey;
we are always one
I, the link, you: the missing link.
We shall always be: you and I
on this planet where we live and die.

Life is a bitter melon
and a sweet onion
It is sunshine and rain
It is laughter and pain.
 
Here's a gift ribboned with gratefulness.

(An ode penned for Evangeline Rueles Caermare Trabanca's
birthday - the 3rd day of March.)

Commentary: 
"I can't compete with those words! Your eloquence in writing, Uncle Greg, is beyond... Your poetic prowess is admirable." ( Luvis Adaza Barja - Lim)
