People – Poem

They come

They go

Some fill

Some empty

Some give

Some take

At times they’ll give a hand

At times they’ll give a leg

At other times you will give the hand

At other times you will give the leg

Through laughter or tears

They make us change

Some our style

Some our view

Some our character

Soon enough you find

That while you need them

They need you too

Strangers

Friends

Family

Enemies

It matters not

In all shapes and

hues they come

Angels, demons

Saints, sinners

Accepting them

Is easier than

Trying to understand them

Each will provide a lesson

And never expect perfection

Because soon you will realize

All people err

No fault of theirs

They are only people
