Shadows
05/31/2019
When the drag of time
Still leaves you hollow
Knowing you did your best
Leave such shadows behind
When judged by others
Highlighting their expectations
Knowing you did your best
Don't give those shadows a ride
Those now in your wake
Still in need of your time
Knowing you'll do your best
Don't give any shadow a light
Having lived half of last century
And death yet a distance away
Knowing you'll always do your best
Cast any shadows aside

Knowing you did your best is so much better than doing nothing at all.
So true, for nothing can only reap nothing
Message received, went straight in!
Perfectly timed, with morning tea
Much appreciated
From your poems I feel that the stage you are at, and that's your state of mind, for a bright future ahead
The measure of any man will not be the wealth or status he achieved. A man shall be measured by the obstacles, set backs and tests he overcame as life presented them along the way.
Living is a set of all these things you described,
I have no doubt at all .. the answer is right in front of me....
Right back at you
Thnx
no prob.. my pleasure...
Doing our best is all that's expected by reasonable beings who live in light and not shadows - a fine read Suresh
We have to walk out of the shadows, if we want to see the light.
Thnx Fay
Thanks SURESH ~ for a very important & timely message. In any situation or challenge the BEST we can do is to *DO OUR BEST !* When we do that we ar above complaint & critisism because *ONES BEST* is ALWAYS good enough in any situation ! It is easy to criticise and castigate a POEM posted on MPS ~ according ones own inflated criteria ! HOWEVER I am an Encouager and always seek fo the positive ~ OK. Thanks for sharing !
The UK PM Theresa May is a very Intelligent ~ Godly & Experienced Politician ! She stepped into the BREACH when David Cameron jumped ship after the Refeeredum to Leave ~ or not to leave the EU ! She has now been forced to resign by those Tories who REFUSED TO RATIFY her excellent DEAL with the EU ! Her parting words were *I DID MY BEST !*
BBLESSINGS & Peace & Love
Yours ANGEAL & BRIAN ~ 🧡🧡🧡🧡
The commitments by both of you has already defined the best you shall do.
Always encouraging to read your words
