Funny, Isn'T It? Poem by Esther Leclerc

Funny, Isn'T It?

Rating: 5.0


It is funny, isn't it,
how fast one can go
from joy to sorrow
down life's twisty road.

It makes her laugh
even as she cries...
Turn the other cheek
or let love die.

So, he called you a liar,
he says it's true,
no matter what you say
or what you do.

'Tis soul-killing
to suffer so,
to be thought as less
than the truth you know...

Well, time goes on
and another day comes;
feel the soft air, the sweet warm sun
and hold fast to this truth:
that you aren't over; life is far from done.


(9.3.06 - The sun shines for you too, Little Spirit. You're not finished yet...)

So often true; but with a sense of hope nonetheless.

So, he called you a liar, he says it's true, no matter what you say or what you do. 'Tis soul-killing to suffer so, to be thought as less than the truth you know... Well, time goes on and another day comes; feel here words are like bees of honey....I wish to have a fun... sweets are love

It must be awful to tell the truth, and be called a liar! ! (Even worse than lying, and people believing you.) I don't know the person who is the subject of this fine dedication/tribute...but I do know that it's Esther's truth... Fine work :) Jack.
