Reflection

There comes a time when one reflects on everything that one expects, on everything that one has done and whether life has been much fun. In looking back on life’s long game we may find pleasure and some pain. There may be things we should have done but overlooked whilst having fun. Reflection on what life’s about could leave your being filled with doubt about the way you handled life, and handled fun and handled strife. If I had gone a different way would I be where I am today, and if I’d took a different turn would I have found much more to learn? Reflection helps to cleanse the soul to gather fragments into whole, then if you think some bits are lost go look for them, at any cost! No matter where your life has led or on what diet you’ve been fed, there’s one thing clear beyond all doubt, today’s the day life’s all about. Tomorrow, it may never come. Yesterday is long since done. This moment is the only time to change the rhythm of your rhyme. Ivor G Davies

I haven't read your poems in a while, and was delighted to see you've posted several new ones. This poem is excellent, I was wondering why it was I liked your poems so well before, now I know.

THank you Carol, unfortunately now I am retired I do not get much time for writing! A lot of my poems are posted on my own site at www.rhymingpoet.co.uk but I really must try to find time to post new poetry her on poetry soup....

This is great, Ivor. A wonderful message. I especially like the line "today's the day life's all about." This is so true. Love, Kim
