As I sit here, deep in thought
Of what, in my life, I’ve been taught
Of love and laughter, loss and pain
Of times I cannot live again
Yet still it’s sacred and I see
The richness that life gives to me
For life is heaven, life is hell
And sometimes we don’t wear it well
Pray share in my philosophy
See heaven in life’s tapestry
For life is tough and through the years
We live for hope with bitter tears
And yet if we were just to be
Just set our souls and spirits free
To learn that life is sometimes strange
And there are some things, we can’t change
Accept the path that you once chose
Go find your peace in ancient groves
Take time to natures beauty find
Release your soul and free your mind.

Great line. This struck a chord. I feel this often, now especially. Struggling through lifes changes. Realizing my years, my progress and path in life and love. Another visit once again, though not often, to this side of meloncholia. So hard sometimes to find those footsteps of grace. But as a proud warrior, I must find the bravery, courage and strength to embrace it all, and find comfort in this dynamic 'tapestry'.

Thanks for the verse.

Thank you Wallfly...

Pretty good, i like it. Thats saying a lot, coming from me.

Themis- LOVED THAT!! Thanks.

Beautiful mind

Thank you everyone. I really do value your comments and feedback

Loved this stanza:

Accept the path that you once chose
Go find your peace in ancient groves
Take time to natures beauty find
Release your soul and free your mind.

Nice Themis
