In the Broadway production of Fosse, Valarie Pettiford began with, Life is Just a Bowl of Cheeries...?

Question

and sang out---

If the sweet things in life are just loaned
How could you loose what you never owned.

Was Ms. Pettiford right?

Practical and cold or true or....???

Answer 1

The late Bob Fosse was a great innovator and had a genius for musical composition and production. The musical, Fosse, proved this fact.

To answer the question...The body we occupy, as in body and soul, is not ours. It was loaned to us from God. As in any relationship or even death, we must accept breakups and/or the inevitable end of the line.

Life can be a bowl of cherries and at times, the pits.

When someone says good-bye, be mature enough to accept it.

Valarie Pettiford was right
