A PRAYER

Midweek Motif  challenge topic this week
Is “Rise Up”.  Pause for thought.
Submitted to Poets United
September 27, 2017
****************

Sometimes in order to rise up
We need a dose of wise up
There are lessons to be learned

From trials and tribulations
The spiteful confabulations
And good intentions spurned

Were it not for times of trial
We’d be lost in self denial
When the good times have returned.

Lord,  send me a reminder
To remember to be kinder
And be grateful for the many lessons learned.

  9. And what about the lessons to be learned? Are we to be thankful for them in advance? (Kind of a tall order, if you ask me, which no one did!)

  10. Ah - this is one of my favorites of your poems. I like the connection between rising up and wising up. And indeed we each need a reminder to be kinder. Very wise words!
