EASY BUT 

THERE IS THE DIFFICULT

It’s  easy to buy the book,

but it takes time to read and digest it.

It’s easy to see the top of the mountain,

but it takes time to climb the steps to the top.

It’s easy to take the photos of the new born baby,

but it’s a lifetime of hard work and love ahead.

It’s easy to get the recipe, but there are lots of

stores and shopping and chop,  chop, ahead.

It’s easy to say, “I do” on that big day,

but the vows say, for better and for worse, etc.

It’s easy to get the poem idea, but it’s work

to write and rewrite it 17 times till you got it.
