Creative Challenge 109 ~ Strange

 

Life is Strange

Contrary to what we believe

Our Life will be the result

Of the various thoughts and actions which we believe

And place forth Into our daily lives

So From our Birth until to Our Demise

Strange things will happen

Much To Our Surprise.

As a child of three

You tell me

Did Neil Armstrong ever think

That standing on the moon one day

He would be.

What child of two

Could say to you

I will die on a cross at thirty two

When the old man sits and examines his past

Do you think he would have ever thought

That he would stand fast

That day when all his friends succumbed

To a bloody battle fought and then lost

From the drop

 Of an atomic bomb blast

Even us aging hippies and surfy chicks

Still grow flowers and raising our chicks

Embracing as we do the new technology around us

And yes

We might appear strange as we drive around in our old bongo bus

Strange, yes it is a strange sight for some to see

But for those of us who make that choice

It is as normal as 

A herbal tea.

Life is strange and we are who we are

So Let us not judge others

For who or what they Are!

  3. I don't know why but I see in you someone with warmth beauty and filled with humanity.
    If you looked like one of those balloons in your first pic you would still be lovely.
    I was privileged to once know a real honest person who I can only describe as a Christian.
    I feel you are the second.
    God Bless you Milli.

  17. People are strange when you're a stranger
    Faces look ugly when you're alone
