No Excuses

Sitting here not knowing.
What I am to do next.
I see the time has come.
To move on and start growing.
When I thought by now.....
My life would be on the setting sun.
But my work I guess is not done.
I still feel the wonder of a child.
And I hear life calling.
At first so weak and mild.
Now it's more like prodding me.
To go out and see what I can see.
No excuses to be made.
It is time to start anew again.
My life is at a new beginning.
Not a closing end.
Once again I am ready to live.
And once again I can forgive.
Yes, it hurt all so bad.
And left me feeling really sad.
But now the hunger inside me.
Searches for the new adventures that will be.
It is time to move on.
And let the pain become by gone.
Happiness is mine.
Given a chance one more time.

what a sad state if life had no new beginnings. and as long as you hear it still calling...let the hurt fall away and have a new adventure...it's yours to do with as you see fit. and i'm glad you saw fit to share this with us, it's uplifting and lovely.

Hello Happygolucky!

Well there you go HGL,! as you said in your write. No matter which way we see or not see,where life turns, it truly is an awakening to know that the time is "now", follow your words my friend, "there are beautiful things waiting outside your door".. one step at a time.

Very courageous write, very courageous step
Let us know as you write, what new things you see!

Love Sophia

Hi happy go lucky...I write poems in the same vein every couple of years...my form of motivation to accept change and extend my horizons.....or as a friend says...draw a line under the old and start with a blank canvas.....you are ready...go for it and like the poem....inspirational.

Yes it was a VERY Good write, It brought out hope of better Places, It showed willingness, To find an Unknown Direction...
That direction as I see Is LOVE......

Here the secret, For God is Love, Seek Him, and he will give you the desires of Your Heart....Read 1st Corinthians Chapters 7 and 13.. over, Over, Over, and absorb, sit and digest it , read again, for a week or so, you will see a new Light...
