Poem of the Day, January 23, 2024

Flower Child., nice, a, very, of, HD wallpaper | Peakpx

life can be a ravaged garden and I have been through a lot in mine living through tons of grief and sorrow have asked God why I am alive ? what purpose do I serve in this world ? and when storms shake the ocean of my sleep God whispers to me you are alive because it is written in my book of destiny that you have a purpose to fulfill look at your precious moments so, I smile each day because it makes me feel good and laugh 'cause laughter is the music of my soul I drink from a deep blue cup of sky and I cry when I recall my loved ones gone it is hard each day to be me to hide the scars on the roadmap of my life accepting that my world is weather-stained but there are things that are music in my life like writing, art, books, a true friend, nature I love birds singing and wildflowers meadows, trees swaying, streams, rivers oceans and seas the clouds that sail across the sky and I am inspired recalling precious moments of picking wildflowers as a child memories stir my feelings of the past they are dark and sad ... though often are blessings precious moments and I embrace them with love, holding them close I kiss these memories that remind me of who I am ... and fill me with hope and thankfulness these memories that I hold precious that give me the reason to believe

You share your heart with us, sweet Constance. Losing my mom was the hardest, no matter that she was 82. I can’t think too much about it. I know your losses and timing were even greater.
