I try very hard to keep an upbeat positive attitude to most everything in life, but there are times that we all experience when you think not only of your own personal problems, but also the whole world in general, and you cant help but become a little sad at times.....can anyone please somehow say something to lift my spirits? guess i just need to be reminded that im not the only one who has times like this. Also, want to say thanks to all of you who have supported me recently, though ive only been here a short while, many kind words have been spoken to me and i want to say thanks to each of you.
thanks and yes this poem does help, I dont know exactly how it applies to me. Though I feel I've always fought the battle, I doubt that I am indispensible in some ways, while in other ways, I know that I am....because we all have a combination of our own qualities, strengths and characteristics that are unique only to us....so yes, I think it did help....thanks! Doesn't really fix anything, but it's good to be reminded that I'm not alone in these things, ya know?
Dear friend: i don't know you and I don't know ur circumstances, but I know one thing u have a purpose on life, and therefore u r indispensable to fullfill such a purpose. MArk my words u r indispensable in every way possible.
Here is a poem by, Alan Harris. I hope you feel it.
Hope and Love As the earth spins into day and night, so the human soul basks in light and quivers in darkness. And as the earth sometimes has foul weather, the soul too has it hurricanes and rains.
Hope and love are, were, will be. Hope is God's eternal nudge in our ribs. Something is ahead and, knowing not its shape, we push toward it nonetheless. Hope pulls us.
Love is everywhere, and always has been. Love existed before we came to join it. Love made us. Love makes us make more of us. Love is God's radiant comfort in our souls. Love binds us.
With hope to pull and love to bind, we need not fear.
When all is seemingly lost, when it is nighttime in the soul, when there is wind and rain, there are yet two forces to sustain us.
thank you, too. I love poetry and I have many that I've written myself so, I of course love it anytime you guys post poetry, it truly does speak to the soul.....much love to you and all the others who have been kind enough to respond.
