Trust by John/Parenthood/Grandparents/Siblings/Friendship/Love/Loyalty/Hope/Self-Awareness


 Trust

 

With eyes of trust,

they look at me.

I wonder often

who is it they see?

 

Do they know at times,

I am filled with doubt?

So much so that often,

I want to scream and shout!

 

The price to be paid,

to be that special one.

Bears not thinking about,

because I will not cut and run.

 

The reward is in the love,

even if only from a single one.

That loving light, the smile,

that eclipses any sun!

 

John

I have two self-help stories available exclusively on
 Amazon, either on the Kindle or paperback, and I do
 hope that you find them interesting, thought-
provoking, and, most of all, enjoyable: -
 
This simply written short story is aimed at those who
 seek to understand themselves, and through
 understanding themselves comes a greater
 understanding of life. 
 
(as witnessed by his brother)
Much has been written about Jesus, and no matter your
 view on religion or Christianity, this person, whether he
 was as described in the bible or not, has singularly
 shaped, to a greater or lesser extent, the lives we lead
 today through his wisdom. There are many versions of
 the story, but there is only one truth, and is it not
 better to know the truth?

Thoughtful by John/Poem/Wisdom/Philosophical/Whimsy/Self-Awareness


This poem captures a moment in life, where sounds, images, senses come together to capture a unique moment in time. On reflection, each moment is unique, for they each have their own individual energy.


Thoughtful
Dark clouds in the sky
gracing the winds on high,
as the sun sinks down
over this peaceful town.
It's Sunday again and the TV's loud and boring,
it sounds just like a motorbike roaring.
The kids are out, playing in the street,
young people, agile, graceful, and fleet.
The circle of life turns, school, work, life, old age
hopefully we’ll gain wisdom and be like a sage!
Onwards we go, never seeing clearly
the mistakes we make sometimes costing us dearly
But on we go as we always must
with a smile, faith, hope, and trust.
When life feels tough and we are at temper’s length,
we dig deep and find love truly is our strength.

Warm spring sunshine.

Birdsong and butterflies.

Overcoming Adversity


 

Adversity

 

My spirit feels battered and bruised,

and sometimes angry, used and abused.

Adversity has made itself known,

and seeds of uncertainty are now sown.

But I know and accept what needs to be done,

and I will do so now; I will not run!

Winter's Hold


 

Winter’s Hold

 

It is cold and white across the land,

and I wish for the beach and golden sand.

Yet as I stand and appreciate the view,

I know winter must come for life to renew!

The golden sun rises spreading it’s rays,

turning white to gold and illuminating my day.

Gratitude follows appreciation of this natural beauty,

making love and joy a privilege and not a duty!
