One's Greatest Achievement Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

One's Greatest Achievement

Rating: 5.0


An earlier life one lived,
Bombarded by nonstop activities...
Beset by ailments experienced,
And emotional tragedies.
Is not a life one seeks for an eternity to live,
When a calming done comes and has been reached.

One who achieves a peace of mind,
And given time to acknowledge those blessings...
Enjoyed when they arrive regardless of the gossip,
Done or innuendos spread by some...
Is a life one can reflect upon,
With a cherished gratefulness one learns to protect.

This is with an honesty said to be when known,
One's greatest achievement to date to one shown...
With a welcoming that is personally appreciated.

Such an achievement is just another rung upon a latter we're all climbing. Does the inner peace last? Or is it another phase that will past? A happening of happens. An unforgettable moment that most of us would like to forget. If tears are as many as the rain drops falling. Then we definitely have a need to clear the skies. Let the moon and stars of the heavens shine. So it is great indeed but time is at its very essence. And the prevailing winds will make these decisions. Acceptance of the lack of control you have over it. So in a time of inner reflection one must savor every moment as if was their last, cause it very well could be. A fortune tellers card change each time their dealt. That is such in also life itself.
