wow...is all i can say!!!!!

this poem is so clear & to the point & shows the spirit you have to overcome all the obstacles.

maybe there could be a seperate section for insightful words/poems.

i don't know about you but when i was on the old tx i would've devoured a book full of these poems.

WHEN THIS RIBA RAGES

 

 

 

 

 

This riba rage

 

Is gettin' me down

 

My face is now

 

Adorned with a frown

 

 

 

The joy that once

 

Lived inside

 

Has taken a hiatus

 

And said goodbye

 

 

 

The positive words

 

That used to flow

 

Have said Uh Uh

 

We've got to go

 

 

 

The sense of confidence

 

That I once knew

 

Has packed its bags

 

And flew the coop too

 

 

 

The warmth that once

 

Attracted so many

 

Has turned to ice

 

It is rather scary

 

 

 

The hallmark of my life

 

Has always been my heart

 

But it too has taken flight

 

And fallen apart

 

 

 

Being aware

 

Of all these things

 

Makes my heart cry

 

And not want to sing

 

 

 

But even with

 

All of this going on

 

I seem to find hope

 

In the Book of John

 

 

So even though I whine

 

And cry a few lines

 

I never give up

 

It's not my style

 

 

 

I get into the ring

 

I fight my best fight

 

For the opportunity

 

To live my best life

 

 

 

Like Bozo The Clown

 

I won't stay down

 

I persevere

 

My feet on the ground

 

 

 

I'll win this fight

 

Like many before

 

With eyes sparkling

 

I come through the door

 

 

 

The door of healing

 

That I walk through

 

Wearing a wide smile

 

From here in Brooklyn to Timbuktu

 

 

 

So when the riba rages

 

And I want to scream

 

I must remember

 

This is part of the deal

 

 

 

There's nothing that's perfect

 

There's a flaw in everything

 

These wisdoms I've learned

 

On my dramatic journey

 

 

 

So these words

 

Are for me and for you

 

My warrior soldiers

 

We'll make it through.

 

 

 

Have a great day!
