A chat with Life

I asked friendship to stay a moment,
And then begged her to stay forever
She pursed her lips and looked bemused
“No promises” she said, and I shudder
“But what’s the point,” I prod her on,
Shouldn’t memories last a lifetime?
“They will,” she said, “but so will the lessons,
The good ones stay, and you’ll be fine”
I asked career to be kind to me,
He scoffed and I went pale
“True growth,” he said, “will come to you
In the moments you feel you’ve failed”
I’ll give you mentors, both old and young
He assured me with a smile
You’ll learn to say no, to push yourself
And all the struggle will be worthwhile
I asked for family to understand me
His eyes softened with a warm flicker
“This is a never ending battle, my dear
Some have it rough, you have it
