Terry, I like your poem and I like your analogy. However, ink is not as permanent as...well, please read:
~~~~~~
Our lives may be likened to ink;
it is that what you said, I think,
but although it is hard to undue:
Ink is easier to remove than is glue!
Just one more thing to say that I own-
At least our lives were not etched into stone!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yes, we were promised a beautiful carefree life filled with hope ,joys and dreams of life everlasting. I put a hold on my life for 20 years. I woke up. I am aware. So, the question is will I wallow in the ink stains for the rest of my life or will I try to do something with the time I do have and perhaps etch it into stone?
