Like flowers on the window sill

a poem by Rick Van Weenen

Our hearts though strong are tender
Can break to make us cry
Our mind the great pretender
Which often tends to lie

Life, the roller coaster
With all its highs and lows
Lifeless are the many
To whom love never shows

Life of hurt, love of ill
Can turn joy to despair
As flowers on the window sill
Each dies without some care
