Those Sounds That Now Arrive In Early Morn

Those Sounds That Now Arrive In Early Morn Can one ever believe in this hope and life, when infancy now has no great strife? Yet soon a decision simply must be made, nobody sits forever in contented shade! In this ole world evil and chaos abounds, chases us like a mad pack of wild hounds. Across flowering meadows we swiftly race, doing most anything to not this life face. Sadly, desperate flaws we all must endure our souls weak, none so clear and pure. Living bravely is what we really should do, this world's low standards give no clue. Often our silence seals our sad fate, yell or scream before its too late! When that boulder hits you from above, curse it and swiftly give it a shove. Along this path signs will soon appear, yield not to the ever present fear. Boldly strive to give love that is true knowing, a record is always kept on you. We may see with our poor, muddy eyes, its all there in our imagination skies. A ship with our happiness its only load, upon these stormy seas we must be bold! Are we to be mere victims of our world, never defiant with our banner unfurled? Nay, tis better we pray for hope greater, follow not the path of saddened life hater. This life is now resting in a true, loving place faith, love and joy smile upon this face. Those sounds that now arrive in early morn; Yes, I remember- they were there back when I was first born! Robert J. Lindley, 01-24-2015 note: Facing life with courage and hope.
