Wrapped in the warmth of my comforter
Gazing out my window frosted in winter
watching snowflakes descend I reflect
Remembrances of life’s first breath
From the smiles showered upon me
through tragic beginnings and loss
to the smiles I was given blessed
to the squalls of my newborn sons
Nary once shall I complain
life was more unkind than kind
it formed my soul molding love
a strong soul filled with compassion
Throughout my life I have learned
I have gleaned wisdom on my journey
Though I will never say I am wise
for only a fool can claim such a thing
Let naught one soul believe that with age
learning is over, for we still stumble and fall
for if naught to learn, the road is a dead end
let this road be never-ending for our-self
Know on our travels this lifetime
through all we have encountered
it was naught all in vain
we are taught through every footstep
Treasure each footstep no matter how light or deep
for we become an instrument of teaching
to walk beside another soul and help them
knowing their learning is their own
We realize on our journey
we are very strong souls
our journey is naught for faint of heart
and creates strength in our character
We create within our-self growth
growth many do not wish to experience
and stay behind and learn from us
Let us be the Light of Guidance

This thing named me,
And there is work to do here
Is why I want to believe
And just that. I must challenge the way, however, beware
Any more,
and to watch out
For being here, for I cannot stop,
as I could
As my time in a weak soul
Can gasp the void of perpetually.

growth many do not wish to experience
How so very true.
Not only this road but the many roads you've walked,
not only this life but the many life's you've lived.
Your path was long but the journey made you wise.
Thanks for sharing a piece of your wisdom with us Carol
Love ya!!
