Wings of Wisdom

Wings of Wisdom - there is no life without pain - On all these roads we travel with free will to choose each turn There is no avoiding pain Heartache, betrayal or deep loss The key is to keep on moving Never letting go of our beliefs Releasing tears, yearning to fall Not letting ourselves fall too deep In every waking moment upon us, opportunities shine from shadows Simple things to see all around us Calling out for us to notice To fill the darkness with light To mend the hurt into joy... With eyes wide open, we can look Capture views from this pure creation There is so much we have been granted Oh, so much to be grateful for There is no life without pain Healing brings strength to get us through... If it weren't for the darkness, the light wouldn't be so bright If it weren't for our perseverence, we'd be stuck in the ongoing plight Life does not promise all laughter and smiles Lessons are derived from moments of hardship Blessed are those who keep on going To find the joy and love, waiting revival - on the wings of wisdom - In the calm water, where the storms once stirred Heidi Sands 12/7/23

Life does cause pain along the way, some more than others. Well expressed, Heidi. I keep hoping the pain will at least lessen in time. Until then...

a lovely poem about the reality that life sometimes gives us hurt and pain...I've found that sometimes I cause my own continued suffering with dwelling on discomfort...just me. I agree with these words: Lessons are derived from moments of hardship Blessed are those who keep on going. Well done, Heidi! hugs, Sara
