Focussed Poem by Lyn Paul

Focussed

Rating: 5.0


Life to us all... Can mean so many different things
Some so focussed on all that life can bring
Others grow. Yet do not know how to succeed
They thrive on taking. Not caring who may bleed.
Yet life to us all, should mean...JUST so much more.
Our life begins as we rise from the shore
The shore of giving.. Where wild things grow
Where anything is possible. Now... Tomorrow.
Why don't we realise how beautiful life can sound
Too not wait, for what.... may possibly be found.
How do I tell each of you... to live everyday
For life, is to be alive.... giving along the way.
For it is not about you! It is for giving to all
The rewards you receive will make you incredibly tall.
For life to me is the rewards along the way
Feeling the ups even if things are grey
So of course focuss on you... Yet others too..
The world can be a better place if we start considering just who is who.

Many people are self-centered, the me-first attitude. We should all strive to consider others first, and your poem gives out a great message and philosophy which everyone should read. Well done Lyn, a definite 10.

Great poem with a straight poet's notes statement, and very right too, Lyn Paul, the right panacea offered as a culmination to the whole logic in the last line..what i like in this poem is the internal word-play, and recurrence of sounds, like W sound in 2 varieties for eyes to see & ears to hear: . Where wild things grow Where anything is possible. Now... Tomorrow./// a good poem indeed, For life, is to be alive.... giving along the way.! ! !

I so agree with your words and thoughts written in this excellent poem. I have written a few poems saying about the same thing, and voicing my opinion on this very subject. Hopefully, someone listens. Thanks~

Man is helplessly held up in this web of situations as never ever has he wished to have been to. Your poem analyses the things philosophically and educates the minds of the readers on an unusual track. It is one of your best poems..
