Kristine Byrne Poetry

There is Always Something.

Even the man with the face of a frog has a tongue that can taste a sweet nectar.

And the woman with the legs of a gander can walk to her lover at night.

Even the man with a twist in his gut can lie under stars with their light in his eyes

And a woman without a physical beauty can sing with the voice of a beautiful bird

And glide with the grace of swan,

A child without fortune and objects around her can savour the wonder of life.

It doesn’t take much to have the good life if others do not take it from you
