The foundations for a home
The solid safety that wraps around a family
The excitement when you own those bricks
You dreamed of those bricks
You slaved away for those bricks
Hour after hour
But getting so much satisfaction from those bricks
Every life experience within those bricks
They are more than just bricks
you grow and learn
You evolve
You stack a legacy
Brick by brick.

'brick by brick within each laboured breath of hopeful dreams,
we all - strive to achieve our 'goals', praying - 'they' too deliver
that salvation of self-worth and belonging,
we ultimately spend our lives: aspiring to realise..'
a wonderfully insightful depiction of those painstakingly gradual years, spent accumulating our meagre success' arduous journey of which only we are previewed to,
while other's drive-by our sweat-forged 'legacy bricks', commenting on our 'lucky break'..
an intriguing take and an engaging topic, accessibly worded
thanks for sharing dear poet and for inspiring my little scribbled reply
Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a thoughtful comment. It really makes me feel confident in my poems. When at times I definitely doubt myself Xxx
The building blocks of our character are within the bricks of your words today.
How we build ourselves as we build a future for security and family.
A well built piece of poetry too.
Thank you so much! X
I like this ... the way you have expressed yourself “ brick by brick “ it works nicely 🙂
Thank you very much! X
