POETRY BY CHER-SUCH IS LIFE

Such is Life (Poetry by Cher)
To my children, Nate, Ellie, Stevie

Such is Life, that is to be
How we live, it, you and me
To be kind and happy , is how it should go
To help one another and all join the show
Such is Life, that we struggle in vain
Everyday we see such horrible things
All around us is hate, greed and pain
Why does this world prey on such things
Such is Life, that we don't often see
How really wonderful it could be
Just to open our eyes, to seize the day
To enjoy the miracle of life in our wake
Such is Life, that if we don't stop
All the fighting,killings,guns that go pop
We may not be one day, how sad that would be
To lose this wonderous world full of glee
Such is Life, that to live is the greatest gift of all
Let's get together, don't drop the ball
Peace to our children and theirs one and all.

POETRY BY CHER-THE FAMILY

The Family

Close family knit so tight

Come together and start to fight

They love each other but begin to smother

So to breathe they have to go....

No one wants to admit to wrong

Everyone sings their own little song

To be right is the key

But the door stays shut tight....

Over and over again it goes

But only a few will feel their woes

Some will hurt so very bad

And the rest will go home sad....

Love thy family is what they say

The past is gone so live for today

For blood is really thicker than water

To thin it out would be dishonor...

Tomorrow's just another day

But to some the day has dawned....

So sing their praises sing them now

And hope the hurt will pass somehow.....
