What's Life Worth?

[Zondrae]

This is one I wrote when away from home last year,

It is just a little musing on things in general.

What’s Life Worth?
© Zondrae King (Cairns) 8/10

Today I went out to the yard and picked some fruit for me.
prepared it in a bowl – Pawpaw, passionfruit and all free.
Then into this I added apple, coconut and pear
and mixed it all quite carefully then called my dear to share
and then we took a seaside walk and watched a Dolphin play.
I put my toes into the brine, not cold at all that day’.

We walked along the beach some more and found our special spot
to fish for just a little while – until it was too hot.
Then packing up our fishing gear we took a little dip.
I’m scared of water. He stays close and gives a little lip.
“You know that you can swim, why can’t you overcome your fear?”
I hold his hand more tightly and pretend I didn’t hear.

We eat and later when we’re tucked up dozing in our bed
I think about this life I have and where our path has lead.
I’ve never known how hunger feels, nor terror in my life.
My husband is a wonder, I’m so happy I’m his wife.
My children are a source of pride and as for those grand kids,
they make my life worth just about a million, trillion quids.

Simple things that give the greatest pleasure Zondrae.

I saw a little note yesterday something like.


I'd rather have a hug and I love you today then a milllion tears when I'm gone.


Beautiful poem and sentiments that I know that big tough bloke you are married to would agree with.

Sounds like a good life Zondrae. You can't beat life's small pleasures.

You've summed it up pretty well I'd say, Zondrae.
Sometimes we forget just how good life really is.

Nailed it girl - that's what life is all about Zondrae - simple pleasures and being wise enough to value their true worth

Better watch out I think our Bob is morphing into E squirrel O a cey I. Am. Wobert. PE squriel; I don't know what the letters after Bob's name stand for so I made up my own definition..

Hi There.

I'm back. The very first poem that I read filled me with the feeling that I never left.

Thank you.

The last few years have taught me how good it is to still be here.
There are a lot of new names on the posts.

Hi there to everyone.

Terry.

G'day zondrae,

I've read it, and read it again. I like it a lot. Its personal association to your family and life make it wonderful. It's been a long while since I've stepped foot in the Illawarra district. Sussex Inlet......hmmm and that windy beach was tough to fish off. Fond memories indeed.

Thanks much for sharing.
