Life's Journeys…


Life should be very important to all,
For we only have the one you know!
So we have to make it the best we can,
And chose wisely the roads we should go!

My life Is Precious To Me.

At times I have stumbled and fallen,
But all my life I have learnt and grown,
And from the caged bound bird that I was,
I have now taken flight and flown.
Fear and pain are suffered by all,
Yes, its so, within everyone's life,
And through the years of our pain;
We have also had heartache and strife!

But no matter the trials ‘I' have suffered,
And no matter the heartache and pain,
There isn't one thing that I would alter,
Given the choice my life would be the same!
Stupid of me you may say to yourself,
Maybe even a little bit mad by far!
But no, not so, for this I believe,
How we are is what makes ‘who' we are!

So no I wouldn't change one iota!
The trials and tribulations of my life,
Even the health, as harsh as it is,
I wouldn't remove any of my strife!
For we learn and grow and excel,
To all that we should be;
And no matter what and no matter how;
This life is the life within I want to be!

For I believe everything given is meant,
And no matter what comes our way,
God gave us what He deemed fitting,
So my past and pain in my life will stay!
For if I change and alter the path of life,
That I stumbled and fought every day…
If it altered and changed, then I wouldn't be,
Who and what I am on this present day!

My life is precious as it should be so,
And no matter the future to be,
I will be able to say on my deathbed,
I aspired to all that I wanted for me!
So though my journey was harboured by pain,
And so much bad health in my life,
Still I wouldn't change or alter…
The things that caused so much strife!

For I am what I am, I am all I want to be,
And nothing that comes my way…
Will ever make me crumble and succumb,
For I am happy with myself this day!
And when that reaper finally calls,
To bid me to go with him;
I can honestly say, hand on my heart,
It was I, it was me who was the one to win!

For when I look back on that day,
I will smile myself a little smile,
And tell myself, ‘Catherine, you did it,
You walked that one last mine…'
I am happy in the knowledge and content,
That I was all that I wanted to be!
And slip peacefully into the Heavens,
Where hopefully I shall reside with He!

We have one life, one shot!
And everything we do should be something good!
So we can look back on life as we are about to pass over;
And be able to say...

I did all that I wanted to do…

I was all that I wanted to be…

I was all that I wanted to aspire to…

I did all I needed to do...

I am more than happy with my lot!

Will you be able to tell yourself that?

***Because I sure the hell will***
