Lifepoems

Let not joy slip through your fingers;
Grasp each scrap of love that lingers;
Wring the sweetness out of sorrow;
Spit the bitter; bite tomorrow.
Peel away this malcontent;
Seek the childlike innocent.
All will be while you can dream;
You are wiser than you deem.
Stronger than your life is long;
Lessons borne of war and song;
Fallen on your knees but then
Saw you rise to sky again.
When your dream is near your reach;
Grasp anothers hand and teach;
Youve the arms to carry two;
Has the world not carried you?
Life will gift you what you lack;
Guide and nurture; give life back;
Sorrow fades when it is shared;
Listen, while a soul is bared.
By the time that life reveals you;
Its too late to ever heal you;
Wear your scars with worthy pride
Guide the young and step aside!
One day they will know this season;
but for now, they need no reason;
To be brash and crazy bold;
Joyous, free, and unforetold!
You alone have seen the ending;
Bid them grow in sweet pretending!
Let them err along the way;
Joy with them each precious day;
Spare them words of future truth;
And toast a teardrop to their youth.

Wonderful. How great the world would be if we all could live by these rules. We can here at YPDC.

A beautiful poem as usual Jaye!

Dear Soft
Wise words indeed, spoken from a life time of success and misshap/'/s, if we had only known then what we know now, did we listen? Will the young listen now? I/'/m not sure, however we must still try as our piers tried with us, absolutely beautiful piece I love life poetry and this one is as good as any, thanks for sharing Jaye, God bless.
Greetings

A gorgeous piece of lesson here, Soft. Your bar is as high as ever, I note. So very, very nice to read you again. I feel, as I read your words, the embrace of an old friend, and the comfort wraps itself around me and and I feel better than the first word read.
