Wilma Neels Poet Free verse

'journey On'

Don’t ever feel like you’re insignificant 
Your life might not be what you hoped for 
But your life might be an encouragement to others 
When they look at your struggles 
The ones you overcame and even those you are still battling
The resolve you have to continue 
While dying inside 
Might be your testimony 

You might never realise what your gentle word 
Or your genuine smile might mean; 
It could end up being a deciding factor  
In someone standing up again
After being brought down to their knees 

Do not stare blindly at your battles 
Do not wallow in that pit which seems so deep right now

Even those moments will dim 
In comparison to where you end up
Journey on -

Kabuteng P.Ink K. July 26, 2015 at 9:42 AM is it me, or is it you? Hmmm. I mean the knack of me reading something that I really need to read right now, or you writing that something that I really need to inspire/remind me right now?? In a word: Amazing. As always, your writes just hit home for me, Missy. Thank you for the wisdom you put in your beautiful poetry. I saw you in the bday blog for Anne Lise-- how are you? I hope all is well, despite you being Missy Busy. Mwahugs! <3
