My Purpose

Christina8

An empty meaning to my life

my purpose so hard to see

Now that I'm not saving lives

The road isn't laid out in front of me

 

I find happiness in the mundane

and I know that I'm cared for

but another calling seeks me out

and has me all but running to the door

 

But first, to tackle my depression

and to make sure it does not return

Going to work when overloaded

is a lesson I have before learned

 

I know there's purpose domestically

Maybe some of it has to do with pride

I want my kids to again have it all

Wanna be back on top and able to provide

    Good aims dear Christina and put into a charmingly honest verse - you will get there on top and stay there with goals so warm and from the heart. Hugs from Fay xxxxx.

        Thanks so much Brian! I know that I'm blessed, I do. I am happy to be a stay at home mom most days, but some days I miss the chaos! Thanks for your prayers! Sisterly hugs-Christina

        I like your straight forward poem. There are always times in our lives when we question our purpose in life, when we think that there should be more, or maybe something different.

        • Christina8

          Thank you so much Fred, for the read and the advice! Always appreciated!

          I think the top is just waiting for you. Great write

          • Christina8

            Thanks for your thoughts and the read! I really appreciate it. Thanks for the compliment!

          • myself and me

            You are such a wonderful person, even at the depress moment, still put your kids' interest on the top.

            • Christina8

              I will do and have always tried to do. Thanks for your read and reply and I really thank you for your compliment!

              Thanks for your reply CHRIS ~ The World of Work is an escape from "The Trivial round the Common Task ! We do have some House Husbands in the UK ~ who stay home and look after the Kids & the House & the Dog etc. but they are much less than 1 in a 100 ! Generally the WIFE has a high powered Job and earns much more than the Husband ! I guess I will always earn marginally more than Angela ~ so when we do get married and if we have a Family ~ it wont be a problem ! Giving up work is one of the many sacrifices Married ladies have to make ~ My Poems are HAIKUS tomorrow so look out for them ~ Hugs in the Spirit ~ BRIAN

              • Christina8

                Thanks that makes me feel a little bit better! Promise to look for the Haiku. I do appreciate your second reply on my poem though. Means a lot! Hugs in the spirit-Christina

                  if you can only just hold on to those personal goals, whatever they might be, you shall, I am absolutely sure, go far ......... Neville
