Trying Times

Everyday, is a different, fresh new day.
I can either make the best of it, or waste it all away.

Shall I be happy with what I have and shut the complaining up? or move on and enjoy each moment living it up?

I can't help it sometimes, I've lived by myself, alone, with long stretches without God, family, and staying at home.

I can forgive myself, it's the forgetting that gets  me down, especially, when I see myself repeating a past, not so condoned.

Sometimes, I feel like I'm just breathing, but for a purpose worth being alive--my son's, my God, my so-called friend's, and my experienced past must be why.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
