The Complications Of Life Are Endless Poem by Shalom Freedman

The complications of life are endless
In old age friends are sick and suffer
People we care for deeply – die
The conflicts of the world persist
One understands one will leave it
Far from being in Peace and whole-hearted Happiness
The complications of life are endless
Every one of our loved ones has problem of their own
At times it seems we will be overwhelmed by reality
We do not know when the worst Evil will happen to us
Perhaps it is already happening
Wisdom is of course making the best of Life’s goodness and beauty
While one can
But it is not always possible
One small complication can lead to other complications
And they can destroy and become everything
It is not easy
But one goes on
Until one cannot go on
And one does not know
Exactly when that will be.
