 Through The Eyes Of A Poet...

The Finishing Touch; To A Most Perfect Day!


I've added this again, why?
To remind me of how lucky I am to be here!
Because you will never know how much!
------------------------------------------
Written; May 3rd 2006

I write on many things as you can see,
And try to touch on all things in life;
And I tell many a harsh sad tale;
About the pain and hurt and strife!
But for me right here and now;
I have my own tale to tell to you;
About the way I feel in my heart just now;
In prose; of course, as only I can do.
So I am sitting here feeling mellow,
And I have such a lift in my heart;
Because I know with every fibre in me,
Today is my brand new start!

I have had my share of happiness,
And of sadness Iīve had plenty too;
But I accept my life past and gone,
Just as I accept the future too.
You see, itīs a little like this;
I have a strong faith in my God above,
And though at times I get angry at him,
I still worship Him with love.
I have always needed an anchor in life.
To help me through many a trial,
And put things into perspective;
If only for a short while!

So tonight I had a thought or two,
About my life and love and stuff,
And about how things have altered,
And how things are now, not as tough!
Now you will see from my words I have issues;
My body has much to carry in weight,
But though thatīs true; I have to say,
My life is still just as great!
You see, if we can accept things in life,
That we carry along the way;
Then thatīs the best thing we can do;
It helps keep the scary thoughts at bay.

And though things in my body are battered,
Hey, look at me, Iīm still here!
And yes I get scared at times, of course;
But one thing in my life is clear!
I wake up of a morning in terrible pain,
That pain's with me every minute of every day;
And I know without doubt, it will get worse,
But hey, itīs really ok!
Because I got to thinking just before,
About my life and all the bad stuff;
But then I turned it around again,
And decided itīs not that rough!

Because when God made me as He did,
He made me strong and true!
To help me as I go through life;
And guide me in all I do!
And no, of course Iīm not perfect,
Tell me who is as perfect as can be?
I guess there may be many out there;
But that sure the hell isnīt me!
Because as through life we travel,
We do things of which we are not proud;
But we are as human as God made us true;
To err is accepted as a fault, and allowed.

For I like to think no matter my past;
And no matter my future to come,
My God will always know Iīm true;
Until my time on earth is done!
And yes, I guess Iīm being sentimental,
And thatīs because, well simply for me;
I looked around my lovely home this night,
And thanked God, from deep in the heart of me!
And though as I sit here typingī
The pain in my body is too much to bear;
Bear it I do, for thereīs nothing else I can do;
And I wonīt say that it isnīt fair!

Because everything that happens to us is meant,
Though the reasons are never always clear!
I never forget that my God is just;
And never forget that He is there.
So Iīm sorry for the times Iīve been angry,
And the times that I have doubted;
But He made me as true as He could;
And of course, there are times Iīve shouted!
And though I get angry at Him at times;
I guess itīs because I donīt understand;
Why evil has its part in this life,
And things that are so out of hand!

Tonight, in this mellow mood I'm thinking;
Of all the good in my life this day;
And thank my God for this life I live,
And I will forever thank Him when I pray.
Because every night as I go to bed,
I say my prayers as I usually do;
But I always say a special thanks;
For this home that He found me true.
Because for many months I asked of Him,
To help me get out of that other home;
Never thinking that I would get out!
From the nightmare that wouldn't leave me alone!!

But the time came to pass that my God above;
Heard my heartfelt, desperate plea;
To get me out of that situation;
And make life a little easier for me.
And so He did, He really did;
And I will forever praise Him above,
And no matter what and no matter when;
My God will never lose my love!
So I guess I am feeling so mellow,
That I felt like opening my heart;
To thank my lucky stars above,
For giving me the chance of a new start.

The finishing touch to a most perfect day!

And I have just realized something!

May 13th 2003 almost lost me my life!
May 13th 2004 almost lost me my life;
February 18th 2006 - Ended the nightmare!
And put me right.

3 horrific major surgeries in 11 months;

And here we are in May again! (2006)
But this time, all is well!
This is my new start!

And in so long as I live;
May I never walk that path again!
Because I wouldn't survive it!
I wouldn't want to!

A nightmare I thought would never end;

And no matter what, I will never lose my smile!
Because no matter what they do or donīt do to me;
This smile is all mine!

The choice is mine;
To lose it, or keep it;
I chose the latter!
