Considering
watching
the ticking
of the clock
upon the wall
Countdown
.........
Minutes
Days
Months
Years
passing by
Listening
quietly
to my own
heart's steady beat
Reflections
Laughter
Sorrow
Experiences
Nothing ventured
nothing gained
Lives
devoted
to our favorite past times
Giving
learning
and Living.
At those moments
when it gets too tough
(what do the really tough people do)
the tough get going
The weaker ones fall
broken
disappointed
disillusioned
by the wayside
While those who are grown enough
and wise enough
mature enough
(that's a good word)
Still
keep the flames
burning
and the wheels turning
keep on going....
Contemplating
some explanation
some solution
some spiritual answer
Something
to make it worth
their time
and their effort
And we wake up...
and another day is born
a chance
to try again
to finally get it right
Time is a wonderful validater
it moves at a steady pace
365 more days
to fight
to live...

ReplyDeletethanks Tammy!
ReplyDeletewow JA.
ReplyDeleteI do believe your voice has changed....developed....grown and expanded since i first read you. sometimes it's so different from the JA I know that it shocks me when you express yourself like this....
I'm amazed at your words. you move me and impress me.
I wish for you the best in the new year and hope that '06 was alla that (or at least enough of that...) to make good memories for you. I'm praying that your '07 is 10X better than even you expect.
Peace and mucho blessings...

Jeanette...I thank you for sharing this year with me. It's kinda an anniversary for us, too. We met about this time last year; right before the New Year.
ReplyDeleteWe have been through alot, and I only pray for peace, and grace for you.(remember you were 'peace', and I was 'grace') Hoping your new year brings you to a place of comfort, joy, and understanding that you have never known...
