Decisions Can Save Your Life



No matter what problems come your way.
Your God is with you, to turn them into hurrays!

Even if your best friends, slap you right in the face. 
I promise you that is the best gift and far from a disgrace!

God never did create any junk!
So stop feeing low, you are more than a low-life punk.

Comments are by no means, defintions of you.
Your relationship with God, is most honorable and true.

Fifty-five years ago, today I made a life changing decision.
Had I not, my life might have ended, in a tragic transition .

So, when things for you might be going quite wild and rough.
Do not let arrogant, stuff-shirted people give you guff!

In these fifty-five years, I have lived an exciting life.
Mostly, learning it was alright to be imperfect or not always right.

If you are one who never wrote a book.
Know your poetry, gave more to life, than it took!
 
Popularity, being top dog, is not where it is at.
Really, what you gave, counts on life’s rose mat.

I know my secific contributions to humanity! 
And all of you, helped me stick to them, with veacity.

    What a stupendous Valentine’s Day this is!

Golly Gordo,I no longer do ten posts a day,since three ago, a after a broken femur and crushed patella.sometimes we had better make decisions, hey, there is more to life than poetry and commenting! Posting good poetry beats posting sentences made to look like a poem. I don’ think I am near at all what I want to be! My failure to not read well known poets does not help. I am my worst enemy, i never came here to win anything, still do not!. I want to overcome myself not build an army of fans! Love, Pangie. Ihave a mebtor in the Uk. Humble and the author of 50 books. Love that.

Thanks, John to some people by comments are more important ?? The best judge of my poem is God.. and I guess all people here have different feelings.. I don’t want to write anything about asparagus God or humanity. Although I do write poetry to wake humanity up.. because we are more than ourselves. I will not write any poetry to make fun of the human body. I always imagine myself reading my poem before God and is it OK? That may fall fully I don’t know, and I don’t care.. but I agree with you. The poem is the thing.. A friend told me a long time ago. This is not commentary soup poetry.soup, Pangie xx

Happy Valentine’s my friend. God should be number 1. But we seem to take things back instead of leaving everything in his hands.

Hi zsweer Eve, i enjoyed V Day, letting god lead us, is the easiest way as you say. Some do not believe that,they think they are God…. A poet told me that he knew more than God,and Einstein combined !))) Have a great day. Will pray for you. Pangie xx
