The Best Of Best Poem by Rose Kanana

The Best Of Best

Rating: 5.0


The week comes to an end
It gives reasons to look back and smile at you
It gives reasons to look back and smile to the world
It gives you reasons to look back and probably regret
Just give thanks for your breathe
For that in itself is worth gratitude

His priorities may not have been yours
Her priorities may not have been his
But living harmoniously is what was key
A cloud of doubt always casts itself
You have to weather the season
Not all seasons are similar

Not all friends are perfect
Not all lovers are perfect
Not all spouses are perfect
Look not for perfection
Learn to make lemonades but don't be its constant consumer Tangerines may taste sweeter-you may need new adventure

When the feelings are dry
It is time to move on
For sticking to no feelings is like having no covenant Cultivate positive thoughts
For positive thoughts are best
If sanity has to prevail in you

When dreams wither-your life withers
Ensure that you work on rekindling dreams
When hope is gone life becomes useless
Ensure that you work on rekindling it
When the inner spirit dies
You die physically, emotionally and mentally

The best of best comes at no cost
Be the best of best to the world
For the world is made best by you and me
Let us be the best of best to each other
For our best to come from within us
We must reciprocate the best of best in us

When dreams wither-your life withers Ensure that you work on rekindling dreams When hope is gone life becomes useless Ensure that you work on rekindling it When the inner spirit dies You die physically, emotionally and mentally
