Loving, Living Beyond Past Hurts





So easy to recall all the slights,
The times you might have been treated like dirt.
But far more glorious to look up at the sun.
Remembering all that your glorious worth.

Romances and loves may come and go.
You are not weird if you are not married!
Some lost spouses in death far too young.
Sometimes you don't find a lifetime relationship.

We are all so wonderful, like wildflowers found on a warm day.
Or we mirror the uniques shaped, silent clouds in the sky.
We don't have to follow a pattern or be just like the other gal or guy.

Read the Poetry here, not one poem is the same.
Each a bubbling brook, singing that poet's name.
Celebrate with ecstasy your individuality today...

Some will never read you and I promise, that's perfectly okay.
Just be you, whether simple or  divinely glorious.
Your may never win a prize, but to God, it is all victorious.

So true Panagiota, no one is the same, but we all write poems that will appeal to someone. And we all contribute to a treasure of literature for the world to enjoy. Have a great weekend. Tom

A joy to read your inspiring words dearest Panagiota. To know that each poet is unique is so true when you view their poetry. But true friendship I have found from across the globe proving poets are truly out of this world. Thank you my dear friend. With kindest thoughts Ann xx

Dearest Ann~ amazing how we unite globally by our verses. We are far above the arrogance of this world which is petty and mean, at times. But grand as well. Yes, a fantastic world we inhabit, dear friend. Love from across the Pond~ Panagiota xx
