Hope that made the risen decision… Comfort for not one but all. Victory despite circumstance. Belief and power that changed the world. Triumphant over the grave… By MwsR Thankful
When the time comes that you to reflect on your life and the things you’ve done Will you see someone smart or someone dumb? Those things you thought were fun, The things that you swore hurt no one. Were they worth it? Were they proper or were they like that of a nitwit? Are the ones that stood with you now standing apart? You already know the answer because it is deep in your heart. Time can’t erase certain deeds, certain paths you chose, the things left undone, You can’t blame that on anyone. Certain people let you down, you say I’m certain they would not see it that way! No one controls your spontaneous combustion, It is certainly your life, not theirs that needs constant adjustment. Go ahead smell all those “roses”, Hang around all those that constantly pose, But when that gets old or you find some other venue Maybe you will see what you’ve put those that love you through. It’s hard to be happy when you’re playing catch up all the time Trust me, I’ve seen that with friends of mine. Think before you act Always leave things intact. Don’t refuse to pay back anyone who’s lent you a hand Take the praise and the reprimand. Swallow your pride, Keep your mouth closed from the inside. Listen to reason, Be willing to change wrong things just like the months change the season.
“And you will be a man, my son.” (If, by Rudyard Kipling”)
I wrote this poem when I was sitting in a conference with my husband, he had to go for his place of work. I was just thinking about how crazy love is. One minute a person could be happy that they have love, and then the next minute,that can change. I don’t think we fully can comprehend how fragile love is an on the same, how strong and powerful love is.
Twisted together by hope and love Going together like a hand in a glove. One never without the other Be it a thing, purpose, or another.
Moving in time and motion With no regard or notion It just is as it always will be Inseparable forever, you see.
When at rest it is still there The feelings, the thoughts are everywhere. Forever together though physically apart. These are the things that can elevate, gravitate to your heart.
Movement unknown to the human eye, Things that go unseen, and seem to hide. Treasured by some, rejected by others But still inseparable, almost appearing to clutter.
It is this way when there is thought that is set into action, Things that gravitate to you and cause a reaction. People that cross your path as well as your heart. Wow, their undeniably inseparable from the very start.
Miracles in the midst of uncertainty It is where saneness meets eternity. Obstacles stand waiting, But faith is so demanding, Traces of disbelief fade in the quest for truth. Never were we born to be a sleuth, Purpose becomes the focus Not forgetting though the thing that tried to choke us. It is easier to rest in truths and not circumstance… Turning a few times to give us a second, then last, a single glance. Things can change..as they often do, It happens and it will for you.
Embellishments to my fears Not pretty but hurtful like a spear, The thoughts I wish would float away But instead, they linger and stay Embellishments to the stains The ones that came out from the pains. Nothing grand to look upon Defeated and trampled on. Trying hard to imagine it all in a different light, But there are just some things that can’t be made right. Embellishments to the tears Falling so often through the years. Noteworthy and significant they have been. Defining the outcome from within.
