THIS LIFE GIFTED TO ME

So long since I’ve ventured here to my words
Before all they did was explain the absurd
The lost the troubled the shadow of me
Time to write of the change now in me

When blackened skies opened and cried out their rain
And thunder clouds cracked and ached with my pain
There was little this body so wrecked so confused
Could muster the might and the mind was confused

Now storm clouds still hanging bring me to bare
The necessary clean of my mind now I care
I look forward to each and every brand new day
See where I can discover my way

I am new and released
I no longer think I am sick and diseased
So what if my eyes don’t see what they saw?
So what if my ears don’t hear all real and raw?
So what if my knees tremble and fall?
So what if this body cannot contain wishes all?

I have my memories, my feelings my thoughts
I can imagine and dream and still not be caught
IN a world where what matters is living a life
In a world where it matters to be a loving wife
In a world where it matters to care for my sons
In a world where it matters to be hold the sun

So my life it now counts and I will care for it wisely
For I only have one chance to do it precisely
I will spend my time intent to listen and seek
I can do no more from this life gifted to me

Hi Keller, Gyps here.

That was an amazing piece of poetry hun, soo impressed. Whilst it was written for you about you, there are parts of it that I think we can all relate to and be inspired by.

Glad to hear things are going so well or you, may you find all the peace and happiness you deserve.
