This has been my quest for quite some time.
Hope for a better tomorrow, life with more smiles
This journey has taken such a long while
Contentment in my heart, peace in my soul
Passion for living and achieving life's goal
Breathing with greater ease, feeling less pain
I believe this something I have now gained
Not giving in to lifes challenges and frustration
Rather using them to grow and achieve exhilleration
Using my tears as I allow them to teach
To say that yes now, I can finally reach
I can reach the stars as I kiss the sky
I don't live each day asking... "Oh God why".
To be rich in your life takes something more than money
For the thoughts in your mind to go from dark to sunny
To remove the grip that has held you too tight
To say out loud, I have kicked lifes ass in this fight.
This can take some time of disconcerted arruption
A tenabrous time of massive confusion.
But, if you are pugnacious in your quest to survive
Your happiness will come fully alive.
Your stress can be simply fugacious
If you set your goals on ameliorating the exiguous
Now you are at the apogee of your life and it's wonder.
Now you embrace the beat of it's thunder.
I know this is true, because I felt the redoubt.
And for now in this time stress is something I am without.
I am not however, blind, to believe it will never reappear
When it comes back and knocks on my door
I will remember the time now, and all it's rewards.
I will remember my peace and it's incontrovertible power
And this is what will get me through that dark hour.
Life is my gift, and I will return the favour
And for now it's a mellifluous time that I savor.
You too can make choices that will bring great peace
You only have to find your teachers in grief
Once you have embraced your teacher as friend
Then you can grow while it reaches it's end.
This is poem of life and reward
Use it to learn, grow and move forward.
Kate
