My Life

By John Gilbert Conning

Taken from the 1998 Bonnet Guild Festival Guide

Breath of life a melody

master piece within each lung

can all play out a misery

should within get wrongly strung

While in tune just harmonise

with each ad everything

then mother nature will provide

a song each day to sing

My love of life is near insane

even to me a mystery

in life what I have to explain

takes more than poetry.
