Wounds heal
scars remain
some deal
some refrain
few conceal
many continue in pain.

Situations get better
things get worse
we realize we are together
yet we are a solitary verse
fall, rise, swim, and ponder
after all, it’s a natural course.

We move on slowly
never to look back
surging ahead hopefully
memories whack
hurting unnecessarily
hearts turn black.

Companies establish
trust is gained
success may be selfish
respect is gained
good dividends an everlasting wish
crumble then losses are blamed.

Strangers become lovers
acquaintances turn into friends
foes go undercover
life has many bends
still, there are movers
and they mend.

Beauty fades
personality rules
destinies are made
character fuels
life can be a tirade
sustaining it all an inner duel.
