My Journey Poem by Ging Taping

My Journey

Rating: 4.8


Looking back at those younger years of my life '
'Twas not a happy one...
For I have to struggle with life to go on living..
Troubles and stripes were always there ready to pull me down.
There were times I almost lost in the shadow of darkness and drifted my life away.Those times were I am all alone no one understand.
Nobody wants to listen. Nobody wants to lend a helping hand....So I leave...

I get up wipe my tears. I need to be strong to pursue my dream
A dream to have a better life someday...
As I begin with my journey I met different people from all walks of life,
Some pull me down, others pull me up..Some smile but wane at my back.

Every step I make I always:
('Stand at the crossroad and look ask for the ancient paths where the best road is, walk in it and you will live in peace. ' - JEREMIAH 6: 16) ....
.
I picked up brilliant stones of knowledge along with me.
And survived all the trials along the way.
Now I reach the peak of my journey. Reaping every grain that I have planted. Enjoying the view from above w/family around I could not ask for more..
Sooner or later I go down turning on the next chapter of my journey...
Where I stand at the crossroad again waiting for the next generation to come.....

Life journey experiences ups and downs every now and then. One has to endure it to come out of it when low and be thankful to HIM when on up swing........I picked up brilliant stones of knowledge along with me. And survived all the trials along the way......I get up wipe my tears. I need to be strong to pursue my dream....yes that has to be the spirit...A meaningful poem with inherent message too. Rated 8

well a diamond sparkles only after it is chiseled at the right angles and corners.., ...all the strife of our life, its gods way of polishing us at right paths so that our soul shines out with our judgement and choices....

Mam as you said that you are a fighter, it seems. And the poem has a fighting spirit how you overcame over struggles. Inspiring! Rhythm! Melodious flow through cadances, cesura. I loved reading it.

Hi Ging, A beautiful poem exuding positive energy. A song of immense resilience, from a person who could relegate the past to the past and could live a life in the present and have the courage to dream of the future; who could build a life of her own. Enjoyed reading.100

To receive am answer, ask at Abel..... (II Samuel 20: 18) . This is in line with Jerimiah 6: 16. The ancient path is with the works of the truth (based on the Laws) . As such, the past is always with us; however, there is hope ahead. Thanks for sharing this poem with us.
