Oh Fallen

oh fallen oh fallen rise up and grab your crown stand up though you're still falling put on your robe and gown don't stray to mediocracy don't devise your will to live remain with thus who's calling trial haste not to forgive oh fallen bare firm and stand to ground oh fallen ye who holds retain us resting soft and sound *This poem is for those of us who have fallen in our lives

"don't stray to mediocracy" - NEVER this! Never! Smile. Smile.

The spirit of your poem moves me, Angie. To fall is human, to rise up is admirable, to admit that you’ve fallen takes humility, which is a virtue.. I love your line: “stand up though your still falling” - that is both poignant and powerful and so relatable. Your lovely heart shines in this beautiful poem, dear poetess. Warmest wishes, my friend.. ~Susan

Any conscious person admits to falling)) Some walk on ths earth as if saints? I have been around thousands of real people like you....who have enough heart and sense to realize they are not God. I am sorry for anyone walking around thinking they are perfect, That realm belongs to God only, not humans. you are wonderfully honest and aware, HUGS,PANGIE XXX
