Edelweiss I know what you mean,
no matter what we eat or don't eat, we just can't get lean.

Jabber your poem is beautiful in spirit and sounds so nice,
but unfortunately the bad in life seems to steal it's slice.

I get up with a smile and stay happy for awhile,
then life buts in and takes away my happy grin.

Makes me wonder why life is so precious, so take heed,
I look around and all I see is saddness and remorse indeed.

Wonder if there is a way to change my course,
if you Edelweiss, Jabber and I could find the source.

Maybe the next life will be better if there is such a thing,
I have searched the web but can't find it on Google or Bing.

I suggest we just smile and be glad for what we have today,
by not allowing our children, friends and family to cause us dismay...
