LIFE

 

What is life ,
But a collection of moments
A bundle of emotions
A thread of relations
An infinity of happiness in a single hug
An aching heart when a loved one is lost
The big grand gestures aren't oft remembered with the same warmth
Of the childhood games played
Of the nights spent talking
Eating raw cake batter
That knowing smile across a room
Finding the one who knows you as you
The first time I held my child
And the second time around
Knowing you would never know love like this again
Hearing your children laugh
Watching them learn,fall and grow and do that some more.
Life goes on,
The memories stay on in our minds
And when we turn to dust
They stay on in the hearts of the ones we loved
And who loved us in return.

The High Road

Take the high road, they said Hold your peace and be the "bigger man". Swallow your pride, your hurt and what you know is right. let them go their way, they said. Hold your tongue, they said be the calm in the storm don't let them get the better of you, don't stoop keep your head held high they said. weather the storm, they said he sees it all they said hold your peace and keep your grace life comes a full circle, they said. when others live by "at least", you must live by "my best" , they said. when others cursed and shirked, you must embrace it and bless and thank the lord, they said. The high road is lonely, cruel and harsh up on a pedestal, expectation abound the path less taken for sure. the divine light is at the end they said. but honestly, can't even see it any more.

Doubt

  H ave you ever had this feeling in your heart A feeling there was something missing, M issing a part A feeling in your soul T hat you weren't quite so whole. F eel so heavy Bursting at the sea ms S till so empty there's nothing left to give H ave you ever had that feeling L ike you're not quite there I n a room full of people But the noise disappears Inside you that one voice is so loud But you aren't quite sure what it's going on about. Tossing and turning in my bed So fixated yet unaware Thoughts abundant So unclear Within me, every day everywhere.

Family away from home

For my very few but truly precious friends...... You've known me As I was and as I wanted to be My hopes, my dreams All of my fond memories You were my family away from home My brother, my sister, my pillar Countless laughs we have shared And tears we have spent All our fears we shared And all those plans we had and all those that were undone. And although we don't talk every day Every hour any more. And you are no longer the first person I turn to When I am scared or happy or sad. You are always there whenever I really need to count on someone You are there when I need to be grounded You are still there in all my memories In the way I was and the way I want to be.
