Losses and Gains

Losses and Gains

Lesser is the lost
Gains are greater
Death is a boon and
curse is our birth
Palace is the jail and
Heaven is our hut
Safer is our rags and
silk materials are risky
Weeping is good ,
Worst is our laugh
Prayer is the way
Deadend is our pride
Gardens and deserts are here
Choose to your mind
May be it a garden or
may be it your desert
Garden may become desert  and
Desert may become  a garden
Changes will not change as our
                                      Father'slove

This poem is really good, probably needs just the odd word tidying and a space or two to breath and take in the things you have said, there are alot of people that need to read this as the lesson in life is a good one, Yours Ian.T
