****************
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.
A blog for the midnight epiphanies and idle thoughts of a hopeless wordaholic.
Bravo! Amen.

ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful poem this is with an excellent rhyming rhythm.
ReplyDeleteAnd 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!)
ReplyDeleteAh - 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!
