"Life is not lost by dying; life is lost minute by minute, day by dragging day, in all the thousand small uncaring ways." ~Stephen Vincent Benét
Life is fragile like a flower in winter
yet tough like a loaded gun
in a world where war and hunger
in some way touches everyone
so hold on to this moment
hard yet tender like a rose
for there are bullets in the chamber
but pull the trigger and they quickly go.
At the centre of this moment , it seems you have inserted your spirit ..thanks
