Chedis

Chedis
by Bevie James

Chedis was a beautiful child, gifted in a love of art and wonderment
The life that Chedis lived was sometimes hard, and Chedis’s beauty was often spent

Early in life Chedis learned a difficult lesson, and that was a lesson of love
For Chedis learned that love was not gotten for free, it was not like a dove

When Chedis was pretty, when Chedis was good, then love was forthcoming and with it deep gladness
But when Chedis was selfish, having nothing to give, then love was withheld and with it deep sadness

Gifted in body Chedis was good at sports, and when Chedis won then love did abound
But victory was hard, and there were times Chedis lost, then no love was around

Chedis earned money and had it in measure, and as long as it lasted love was bestowed
And when money ran out and poverty moved in, then love left for unpaid debts now owed

Pretty in body, Chedis gave all that was asked, and while pretty and giving received love galore
The years passed and the body changed, weak and heavy, not pretty, love was no more

Chedis loved music and music loved back, seeping into the soul and making Chedis whole
The tears would fall, released as emotion flowed fast, a raging river from the soul

So Chedis did travel, and searched through all space, and found those who loved without price
Amazed and attracted, Chedis remained and continued, searching to live twice

Where is Chedis now and where is Chedis going that is what is asked
To continue in love and in searching with that Chedis is tasked

Chedis is such a beautiful child, gifted in love and wonderment
Chedis searches for others of like spirit, that is where Chedis went
