Forewarned

Let not the winds

Keep you from hearing

Or the chill numb your brain.

 

I have but a short time,

And eloquence is not my game,

To impart the danger that lurks.

 

For you see it every day,

Though it is cloaked

With subtlety to confuse.

A fair warning expressed through your verses, George. Coincidentally, a friend of mine was just expressing that the world is beginning to go through the "pangs of childbirth" mentioned in the Bible. Love and peace to you,

Great message, George!!! Wonderful poem!!! :o)

*Hey Ron: No one should be afraid to go back to the past, since the roads have been walked on and has brought you to where you are. What I really am puzzled is that some folks seem to forget about being in love when they get old. It is okay to get old, but one MUST NEVER FORGET what love is and how love has affected them when they were young. I like folks who will NEVER GROW OLD IN THEIR HEARTS!! Why?? Just because a person grows older doesn't mean that he/she is dead, love still resides in their hearts. Unfortunately, some folks let their age affect them drastically and forget about what love is all about. We only have one life to live in this world, why try to forget it? Our memories are so precious, it defines who we are.

AS for the future. Who cares? Whatever will be, will be. We are all going towards one direction, and will likely be ended up in the same place anyway. When our souls leave our bodies, it will move on to another level of life.

There is nothing subtle about foot dragging and living in the past… Justifying inequity as "it's always been that way and should stay that way."

On the other hand, there are those who fear the future because they will be found out who they really are.
