Am I a bloody fool To think that life is what it is, Full of love and hate, Pleasure and pain, Ups and downs? We might take a punch and recover, Perhaps more than once? Sometimes we take a punch, Then another and another. And when it hurts, More so, it hurts so much, Not just in the real sense But also flooding the mind. When our worst fears are realised, Where the shadows creep, Yes of course we cry, We scream and we ask why? Life IS what it is And I treasure each moment, Because I care for those I love And hope for the better. And from each breath I draw strength, To shun the c-word, To live life to the full, To share moments Not taken for granted But appreciated, nurtured and loved.

Am I a bloody fool? Yes I bloody am! And no I bloody ain't!!!
