Ebbs And Flows

Ageing and poetry Both teachers of my soul Priorities and values learnt Understanding self , feeling whole Knowing the power of kindness The clarity and strength of simplicity Having greater appreciation in life Holding dear what is most important to me Embracing love and the ones l love Voicing positives from my heart Respectful of honesty and humility Knowing the positivity and healing humour imparts Life is not always easy A venture of highs and lows I have learnt to both cope and celebrate Navigating lifes ebbs and flows
