Ramblings of an old soul


 Where I need to be
Back to Full Blog  

While we take the path that we may lead
We can wish for all the greatest things
But will our wishes come to pass indeed
Or must we accept what our existence brings

Or can we make our wishes all come true
By only wishing for the possible of those
By focusing not on the wishes that we do
But on ourselves not as thorns but as a rose

To carry on as the blossom full and new
To show the world; that we have the stuff
That draws the others to us for what we do
To be the diamond, but not as in the rough

To polish skills of causing those we meet
To look into our attitude and plainly see
The depth of soul that shows to be complete
And comfort in the knowing what one must be

To hold ones head up high and have no fear
Of being needy so advantage no one will take
One who's life is full and happiness is clear
In being one who's heart will never break

Not going back to another time nor place
But always forward with confidence to burn
Filling days with all your charm and grace
Making dreams come true through what you learn

Wow! What a great poem! So let me see if I have this right: you have an airplane so that would make you a pilot of sorts?, you are a poet (and can write an awesome poem in no time), an inventor (what did you invent?) . . . so who ARE you really??
I used to write poetry (not as good as yours though), I love cats (I read your profile) and have 2 of them. Some day I would love to write a book but I have been saying that for years. What other kinds of writing do you do?
Hope you are having/had a great day!!
K.K.

Very introspective poem, a written request to glean from the inside.

Yes...one does need to learn, to grow, to stand up and move on with confidence...don't let the past and present situations dictate your happiness or lack thereof. Wonderful poem Raven.

To have the confidence to move ahead in life is sometimes a challenge especially when we do not always find things the way we would like them to be, thanks for provoking one to think, June
