A gift

Life at times is a like a mystery novel

Some chapters read, some more to go

At other times it is like a confounding riddle

Hovering on the verge of solution but remaining unsolved

It has also been likened to a box of chocolates

As well as to a superhero movie with a villian, an underdog

And a damsel causing distress!

Some also call it a journey into the unknown

Made pleasurable by a like-minded partner

Whichever way you look at it

Life is a gift to be loved and lived

With a sense of humour and a feeling of gratitude.
