The Hurdles of Forgiveness

The Hurdles of Forgiveness

Forgiveness is a skill, a strength
because it is born out of character
and does not come easy.
It is a  mountain encountered on life’s road, 
a steep climb to condonation,
reaching the summit to find peace and healing 
waiting to embrace you.
Without forgiveness, there can be no peace.

Forgiveness is a choice, an attitude
which must be learned.
unlocking  chains of bitterness and resentment
allowing  the spirit to  soar free.
Forgiveness is a check, ripped in half
cashed only by the mind,
satisfying all debts.
It is the needle that mends the soul.

Forgiveness is love.

All Roads Lead To Success Have To Pass Through Multiple Hurdles and Obstacles

The sun up in the air for free and this leads us to success? exactly!!
So it is all in our life, if we want to achieve success we will have to fight for it with 
appropriate knowledge and to conquer a position.
With money, we can buy a lots of things but knowledge and intelligence is not for sale, it 
is for everyone to learn.
And we need to make every effort to gain knowledge and possess it because “Success 
will not happen overnight”
But that take time and patience with a lot of learning material to be learned and it will 
not always be easy, because not everyone has the same predisposition for something.
Also with a business transaction or to start a company, we must first explore about it so 
that everything can be organized to have a better chance of success later.
This requires a huge effort , when we have enough knowledge to lead through the legal 
rules and take action so that there will be no problems afterwards as everything runs 
smoothly without suffering when an officer sworn by legal come to us.
So it also with success in sports to deliver performance we most change from a normal 
life to a strong diet for our bodies and prepare to perform entirely.
That’s not always fun and there is joy in a victory but a disappointment by loss after, 
because there are many obstacles and hurdles involved.
Successes are not for everyone and not constantly, there are some underperforming 
moments by loss which give us psychological pressure and this has a major impact on 
our life and can be seen as a significant obstacle.
Also the urge to show the achieving of success to many fans and intrusive media who 
thrives on criticizing.
It is not an easy task to deliver first successes in life today without being confronted by 
many obstacles and hurdles .
But that does not mean by every success or victory we celebrated with a triumphant joy 
and pride which give us a glorious existence in life
 
I wish you a healthy life.
Kindly Regards,

Life Hurdles

Life is what you make of it 
but it is also what it makes of you
people that face illness 
can't be blamed for becoming ill
can't be blamed for not succeeding
and yet their are people 
with illness crippled and in pain
that get an education 
and become a success
Stephen Hawking 
to mention only one
one man see's a problem
another man decide's to overcome
Eye-sight can hinder the success of a child
money can limit the chances you share
each of us in this river of life
needs love, support and chance's 
one man is crippled stuck in a chair
another learns to dream
one man faced with the loss of his legs
become's a cripple an invalid for life
another win's the olympic's
another man with a healthy body
will live his life unemployed
or spending life in jail
yet dig deeper and you find his past
alcohol, drugs, money, health
all converge to create your life
but attitude can build success
one man given all the chance's
will turn to crime
yet another man with no chance 
will build a better life
we can all blame our parents
blame poverty
blame your skin colour
yet thousands of people 
with these problems
have gone on to have better live's

Vulnerability of Hurdles

Although appear same
All hurdles cannot be same in
Vulnerability.


Hurdles and Boundaries

When you love somebody
It doesn’t matter who they are
And when they love you back
No distance is too far.

Your love may meet some hurdles
Some may disapprove
But none of it will matter
When you feel your whole world move

People will have opinions
That, you will always find
But those that mind don’t matter
And those that matter don’t mind

So when you find that someone
That makes your world alright
Make sure you hug and squeeze them
And keep on holding tight.

In the Joy of This Morning

IN THE JOY OF THIs MORNING
                       ————————————————————————————————
(For Jim, to explain why
my tears can run down in Joy)
        ********
In day’s earliest light
  (my inner eyes see)
The recitals there,  nearly-sky, as
The does lead their Spring-born fawns
Leaping over Glory’s 
Far-sprouting wildflower fields…
Finding brown hares fast to follow;
With streaked cats in a chase, swinging their paws at
Bobbing blooms, like
The sweet-scented heather on tossed air
Left by the fleet fox — not on a hunt, but
On a spree of joy —
In a breathing-in of a new day’s anointing.
The pure leaps 
Into
Being…

And the squirrels, too, very nearly
With the gifting of invisible wings, bounding off
From tree to tree…

While we, the children of God,  are left to
Watch —
Incapable of such leaps
(often going on in our suffering, short, shuffled steps)

With our simpler legs:
Designed 
 for 
Kneeling

And preparing to sit in awe
Before God’s heavenly throne; in joy…

To learn in our imagining thoughts, the ways of
The flashings-past beauty of horses, freely

Jumping ever higher, with distinct grace,
Over recurring hurdles,
While carrying bareback all their praises, on to
Canter over clover, and over
Blue coneflowers amidst wild, white daisies,  and
All the yellow dandelions on

Through the blessing, reverberating echoes
Of the heartbeats of God —
As they seek to penetrate and fulfill,
Showing our so-created human souls
The way to leap…
How we might — this morning — 
   Ascend to flight!

Thanks be to Go

The Curious End

I wonder what will it feel like, 

When I reach the topmost stair of my childhood dreams. 

If I would be satisfied with the long run, 

Or I would regret my choice type. 

 

I wonder what will it feel like, 

To conquer all the hurdles and to taste the sweet success. 

If my happiness would be explicit, 

Or I will just pretend due to the exhaustion of a long ride. 

 

I wonder what will it feel like, 

To be besieged with the smell of victory. 

But even if the end might not feel like a magnificent triumph, 

The journey I sailed through 

Would be the greatest accomplishment.

Jumping Hurdles In the Sky

jumping hurdles in the sky
i can say that i know how something feels
i can now tell stories to other storytellers, and i feel fine

jumping hurdles in the sky
i can say that i have been there
i can now give descriptions in depth to other describers, and i feel fine

jumping hurdles in the sky
i can say that my calendar is full
i can now schedule things with other schedulers, and i feel fine

jumping hurdles in the sky
i can say that my world has been rocked
i can now continue to listen to other storytellers describe things in their many schedules, and for me that is completely fine

MOTHERS DAY CARD

Poetry Soup Premiere Contest winner
MOTHER'S DAY poetry contest sponsored by Benjamin Bartley, April 2025

Morning starts early, before it gets light
Opening cupboards, to see what’s in store
Teachable moments, with wrong versus right
Hope grabs the car keys, then heads through the door
Early bird children, are making their way
Ready to take on, another school week
So many hurdles, to climb day-by-day
Destiny journeys, down these terraced streets 
Another story, of work’s imbalance
Young hungry children, get so tall, so fast
Confidence takes it's fences and chances 
Armed with new shoes but, how long will they last?
Roses or chocolates, say life can be hard
Demanding much more, than words on a card.

Wondering Why Life Can'T Be Simple

Wondering why life can't be simple,
I look forward and see hurdles,
I look back and see the start line,
Inches before I started.

Wondering why life can't be straight,
I look forward and see alternatives,
I look back and see wrong choices,
Yet choosing which to take,
Maybe this or maybe that.

Wondering why life can't be happy,
I look forward and see despair,
I look back and seek my mistakes,
Trying my best to move forward,
The past rigs me to pieces.

Why can't life be without problems,
When the only thing I don't see are solutions?

The Hurdles

There's been hurdles in my life 
There's been toss and strife
when my heart would ache
I could hardly wake 
feeling sadden by life's pain
why is this happening 
all I want is peace  and serenity
to release me from this nightmare
all I want is to be free from the inner bondage
all I want is to be able to jump over this hurdle
to be free forever  as I leap into happiness
to be able to smile with no more sadness 
That's all I want Is

No more hurdles     

 Just Happiness

Endless

Human life is an endless cycle.                                          Infancy, childhood, adulthood and so on                         
Lesson learns this life is survival                                              Are you the chauffeur of your own life?                                  
                                                                                                        The chances are always endless                                       
Every day begins with the golden chances                                  If you miss the chance you are helpless                                Turn your hurdles into fruitful chances                                        
                                                                                                      Your enormous wealth is endless                                           
The wealth comes from chance and power                         Your great power is tremendous.                                             True wealth is not measured in money.                               
                                                                                                Endless is the explore of truth                                               
Don't believe the truth blindly                                                   The truth will make you a free youth.                                        You claim to hunger for endless truth
