Life's Journey

Life's journey isn't easy or funny,
Rather, it's long and really dreary,
...

Master Teacher, Source and Giver of wisdom,
You have called me to a work so special,
A stint that others often label as celestial,
With some calling it one "noble and superior".
...

Life is a gift,
It's not mine to waste.
Life is precious,
it's not mine to abuse.
...

Oh moon what a delight to see,
You drive away my madness
with your stunning beauty.
You soothe one's tired spirit
...

You are my guiding star
that lights my way in a dark night.
You are my perfect rudder
when my hopes seem out of sight.
...

Beauty lures,
beauty pulls.
Beauty attracts,
beauty distracts.
...

"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" they say, and I agree.
Anyone can make anything beautiful or ugly by his seeing,
He can turn a red rose into green, or a yellow daffodil into brown,
A small hill, into a steep mountain or a huge stunt into a trail.
...

Love is like a red red rose,
it catches your attention.
Love is like a strong wind,
it blows your mind away.
...

Slowly, silently, carefully, she crawls beneath,
She reaches out her trembling right hand,
Tightly, her left hand held to her belly,
Then she inches forward for the only crumb,
...

A hope of a new day,
A promise for a new beginning,
A fresh look at life,
A reward for the weary,
...

They give me space,
Clear my troubled mind,
Heal my soul,
Touch my heart,
...

Dark paths have been brightened
Rough times they never stop me
Boredom, Oh it cheers me up
Weary days are a welcome to me
...

She stands a moment
Merely gazing at a blank wall
With grave contempt He stares
Not minding her presence
...
