I Arise.

Goldfinch60



In our lives we have so many ups and downs,

Each one is now behind us.

We know that life can knock us down,

But the choice we have is ours

Whether we should get up again,

Or not.

In my long life I have always got up,

And at each rising have become stronger

So that now being knocked down is avoided

As I have the knowledge to stay positive

And move forward to a better life

That I know will be with me,

Each and every time I arise .

    Life goes on regardless of our choices so rightly so lets choose to say yes. Good poem GF

  • dusk arising

    Nil illigitimus carborundum. Don't let the b'tards wear you down. Yep, I give myself permission to have 'down days' but rarely inflict them upon others unless through a posting on here LOL.

      "Illigitimi non carborundum " is the saying that I have on a stone plaque hanging on the wall in my conservatory!

      Very true d a, it is only hear and with good friends we share our down days, mind you I do not have many of them any more.

      I arise with my poor little blue eyes .. a neat little bundle of positivity ...

      neatly & sweetly poemed my friend ....

        I'm on me feet mate, an going to stay there for as long as possible - Where I live, lay down too long they will wheel me out with no 'excuse me'!
        Lovely write and good advice as a bonus....

        • Goldfinch60

          Thank you Dave, yes just stay on your feet.

          what an empowering message Andy
          rousingly: rejuvenating!
          right from its emphatic title
          'I arise': indeed!

          • Goldfinch60

            Thank you Mek. Yes I do rise.

              It serves no purpose to let the downs hold you there. Bouncing back is an art form mastered by writing poetry. Great write Andy. ; )

              • Goldfinch60

                Thank you so much , you are most kind.
