Poem: "On The Brink"-some thoughts on the New Year

On The Brink

~some thoughts on the New Year~

On the brink, again we stand, not knowing what’s ahead.
Moving bravely, step by step, as this new year unfolds.

Taking time to analyze past missteps we’ve taken.
Time to choose a better path-embrace the new-let go the old!

What better time to start anew?
We have a slate wiped clean, uncluttered.

The painful parts we’ll leave behind,
Only keeping those things that mattered.

Poem: A New Year

A New Year

The last few hours of this year are swiftly passing on.

  I wonder what the next will bring my way.

Will my choices show improvement - as I go along?

Will I make amends…all misdeeds to repay?

Will the way be clear of pitfalls - in this New Year, ahead?

Only - ‘Good Intentions' - sometimes, don’t suffice.

But with determination, and the will to do what’s right,

my simple pleasures won’t outweigh their price.

Some things become so troubling…that seem to start out fine.

A new year offers hope - a fresh beginning!

Bad choices made in this year, can now be left behind.

With burdens dropped, I could again be winning!

It’s a time for deep reflection, as these hours pass –

journeying onward, through this final night.

I’ll treasure all the good things, that this year has given,

and try to take what’s wrong and make it right.

Poem: Patchwork Of My Life

*** 

This has been posted before on this or one of my other blogs...but today it comes to mind - as I've been in  quite a pensive state of mind the past few days.

 (... and judging by the date of the writing of this poem, I always HAVE been!  )

*

Patchwork Of My Life

Looking back upon my life
I see a crazy-quilt design.
Bits and pieces held in place
by a thread so very fine.

Each patch of the pattern shown
represents a span in time-
different friends and other loves;
a separate life that once was mine!

Looking backward on the past
to recall a memory,

it seems foreign to me now;
as if that girl just wasn’t me!

Yet, it’s sad to realize,
the past will be forever gone.
What has happened must remain,
whether it was right or wrong.

Past mistakes cannot be changed,
but just complete their own design,
to the patchwork of your life,
to be reviewed from time to time!

Poem: The Ones We Love

~~~



The Ones We Love


The years have gone so quickly.
Unseeing - unaware-
we stood in our own ignorance,
blind to what was there.

Basking in the moment,
of love's security;
not noticing the changes
we now so plainly see.

We thought because we loved them
and always let them know -
that fact would help in smoothing
the ways they chose to go.

They’re flung into life’s fickleness,
not tethered anymore.
Each day we see they’ve drifted
much farther than before.

We fight this helpless feeling...
no longer can deny…
that we can’t help them anymore,
no matter how we try.
