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
Looking back that younger years where I stand on the cross road again. Beautifully penned horrible things of life in poem composed in meaningful way. Nice job.
A life poem which has passed in such experiences of happiness and also sorrows a good poem.
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....
It's been years since my last communication with Ging. She adored me OF COURSE, but tried to lure me from home to spend tourist-bucks in her homeland. ;)))
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... This is a poem from a heart, many can relate to this journey, its so real. Thanks for sharing a positive life experience +10
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
