Sentiment to life

by Robert   Sep 4, 2013


Recorded, and played over and over
An endless replay of the burden's we shoulder,
but also the happy times where we would run under the sun
With our eye's so pure, and a smile that said life's fun

Laughter, sadness, but also hatred and fright
Took the better of us as we held on tight
We may lose our way, or lose track of the line,
but with the help of other's we do just fine

Whether it be now, or whether it be later
I hope to reach the sky's, and feel so much greater
Than the star's that shine, or the vast blue ocean's
Sink or swim I will live every moment

    --I like how you used the rhyme scheme of aabb through all the stanzas, but on the last one... I am not sure if ocean rhymes with moment? however, I feel that line ties the poem together.

    Specially because the whole poem mentions the good and bad things that can happen in life, and with that line it tells me that every moment counts.

    On a small critique to this line:

    We may lose our way, or lose track of the line

    ^ "or lose track of the line"... that part at least the way it's written sounds to me like it was just use for the sake of the rhyme. Because after reading it I am left thinking which line? Though I do have an idea.

    and on this other line:

    " But with the help of other's ..."

    ^^ I think the apostrophe is not needed.

    Other than that, I like the poem, it tells but it also shows.
