! ! More Thoughts
As I reflect on what has gone before,
I consider, hopes and dreams
both past and present, some dreams
fulfilled, others broken, elapsed,
discarded from field of my imaginings.
I remember happy times, when laughter
poured out of happy smiling faces, fun times
blissful times of happiness, that had no care.
As tears fell down, I feel the dampness of
those dark moments of anguish on my face.
I mull over how fears I overcame of anxieties,
made me harden my resolve not to give into
hidden fears, to ignore them all the time. For
fears, worries, qualms and reservations all live
in future, and future is a time that never comes.
I recall the help, the good deeds I have given,
and recollect those times when I have erred.
As I journey ever onward through the mindscape
of my life, with its many ups and downs, I ponder
how the renewal of the spirit that made me happy,
was found through realising that we have to go,
through both shaded and sunny periods, effort is
needed, before we climb a mountain and descend
to life’s basin. What worth is life without hardship,
the reward of knowledge gained without some trial.
