My Gentle Soul Can Surely Rest

Teddy.15

 

As I walk along this road of life

I often think about who I am?

reminiscing of all the bad and strife

then suddenly the breaks I slam

 

 

there I stand and as I smile

remembering almost every mile

my aches and grief last just a while

joyful memories stacked in a pile

 

 

no matter on which roads I’ve crossed

the life I’ve led has been my best

the bad times I have gladly tossed

my gentle soul can surely rest.

    Good write T.
    Me own gentle soul cannot rest, since KP. It's been shattered, damaged, irreparable. I'm all in a heap emotionally! heehee.

      LOL good afternoon my dear orchi, you know better to have loved and lost her than never to have loved 🤗 thanks darling friend. X

      • orchidee

        Doh!! I loved, but I ain't lost her exactly. Though I hardly see her in person - mainly at the botox clinic when I go to collect her. lol

          Those bad times are so inconsequential when you consider the good times in life Teddy.

            Dear Teddy,

            …‘the bad times I have gladly tossed’…

            The bad times are the past…
            where they will stay.
            Your focus is the present to be enjoyed to the fullest ❣️

              Brilliant!
              (knock on those red shoes
              and let yourself glide
              to a reality that's sure to provide
              meaning and worth
              for each breath and scar, cherished
              sincere)

                I think we are very lucky if we have a lot of good amazing memories .. because I know that some people can struggle / hurt a lot in life .

                I like your writing )) nicely expressed

                The red shoes out of the wizard of oz lol .. great film

                  Dearest Rose, truth be that when I was young I struggled deeply to be happy, born in London living a very hard life in a huge family was definately challenging, I never found love worth keeping, and i one day went to find my very own Oz, the rest is history. Thank you so much. ❤️

                  Somewhere over the rainbow we will all find rest in a colored land where we only need to click our heels to get back home. Lovely write my friend

                  • Teddy.15
