Chapter 766

Treat

There are often many voices
Few are more than a bleat
To sort out what's accurate
Can be more than quite a feat

When things get tough
Some can feel the heat
Do they stand up and face it
Or run and use their feet

To play life's game fair
It's very hard to beat
That's why so many
Would rather cut corners or cheat

Change may be desired
As someone new we meet
Sooner rather than later
One gets chewed up like meat

To meet the right one
Things can turn out sweet
Everyone will seem whole
Life will feel complete

Not everything that is old
Need be seen as obsolete
It's only death itself
That is cast in concrete

To snatch victory
From the jaws of defeat
Is what makes living life
More than a treat
