missing link unknown
her death my pity hindrance
lessening of growth
regressed innocence
before successful progress
life’s impediment
severe frustration
defeated bloodline mourning
extinct from her loss
thirsty for closure
beyond my intelligence
woe relapsed from strength
prayers heal my heart
yesterday’s setbacks bring hope
struggle gains freedom

Self-discipline whines
discounting hefty losses...
Demanding dessert

my road had detours
stumbled and fell quite often
but didn't stay down
marriage didn't work out
had an overload of debt
but paid it all off
my faith was tested
and questioned belief in God
found my way again
setbacks are hurdles
along the tracks in my life
bumps for me to jump
my head is held high
never giving up on hope
for my tomorrows

Be thankful that you don’t already have what you desire,If you did,what would there be to look forward to.
Be thankful when you don’t have something,for it gives you the opportunity to learn.
Be thankful for your difficult times ,during those times you grow.
Be thankful for each new challenge ,because it will build you strength and character.
Be thankful for your mistakes,for they teach you valuable lessons.
Be thankful when you are tired,because it means you made a difference.
It is easy to be thankful for the good things,a life of rich fillment comes to those who are also thankful for the setbacks.
GRATITUDE can turn a negative into a positive.
Find a way to be thankful for your troubles and they can become your blessings.
to be s t r o n g I must
get hurt and have setbacks-
s t e p p i n g s t o n e s forward

Comebacks over Setbacks
Faith goes beyond the fear
The Word of the Lord is always near
The mercies of God are new every morning
It transforms our imperfection
And makes it beautiful
This is your comeback
Flowing with Grace and tracing
Every Word in Scripture
This is your comeback
Hope drenched in fire
Destroying the liar!
In truth and sincerity
Your purpose sparkles higher
This is your comeback
Comebacks over Setbacks
Faith in the Lord Jesus goes beyond fear
The Word of the Lord is always near
This is your comeback

Setbacks
Cast away regret.
From setbacks our future grows
As our strengths unfold.

stumble fall whine crawl
taste of sand in teeth lingers
look where you step next

I fell from a height
emotionally shattered
bounced back with force

Contest: Setbacks
This one goes out to all of life's setbacks,
And the challenges that one must indure for the better
We've got to push thru this stormy weather, sometimes you must take the good in
with the bad, you must stand up for what you have,
Don't let love slip away with a loose grasp,
Setbacks drag behind
I confront, they don't last long
and I march forward

Senryu form 5-7-5
See beyond pain fine lessons here,
Embrace this sphere where hurts block quest;
Touch reveals gain in gush of fear,
Be of good cheer with failure's jest;
Anchor your zest in fond focus,
Claim success bold when all seems lost;
Keep faith and zest in grand locus,
Seek in the cold great things through. dross.
Glimpse vision clear with steadfast sight,
Arrive each day the moment's need;
Live without fear for hope lives light,
Obtain wise pay that nurtures seed;
Rise to the times where love funds rich,
Enjoy pure rhymes that flood grand niche.
