How To Sow

Poem Artwork


 I am in a dither dissatisfied
with my present state of affairs
I decide to take action and delve
into the archives of accountability

I tear open the fabric of yesterday
looking for the thread that was
sewn that put me on this road

Thinking perhaps I can repair what
has gotten me here, but know I can't
change what was, but only what is 
and do better with what will be

Disappointment can be deadly so I
deny the demon it's day and ditch
it quickly

Instead I take action to the tune of
"where there's a will there's a way"
and widen the window of will power

I pay attention as I see a portal of
possibility in my present position


I'm shown that I must accept
each lesson for I will surely
reap what I have sown


Now that I am using this thread
of wisdom I will sow more
successfully in the future


When I soared in self-sufficiency 
feeling full of glee, I almost forget
to acknowledge the One who
taught me


Back on the path of promise I pay
homage to  Creator, who knows
how to sow, better than we do


etw

Lots of insight in these words, Eileen. It seems that we all have times in our lives where we revel in wild abandonment and forget that, though this life was uniquely made for each of us , there are still others to be considered as well as and understanding that it is with a certain amount of humbleness of spirit we must pay respectful and loving homage to He who has delivered us to this lifetime.
Take care,
Sherry

Hey, Rene works at a sewing machine sales company & I bet I can get you a good deal on a relatively expensive "sowwing" machine, unless you just need some of that wisdom thread & might be able to do something for ya there too...though you can use the wisdom thread you already have and show forth in this neatly put poem...Niters, Ed & Rufuz

Eileen, this is wonderful, but then I have come to expect that when I click on one of your poems. I love the metaphor here. I especially love the lines,
"I can't change what was,
but only what is and
do better with what will be ..."
Excellent!

Amen Sugar Chum.

Using the experiences of our past wisely, we can only hope that the decisions we make in the here and now will somehow counterbalance our abundant stupidity then. Lord knows we've all suffered from that before. I hope all is coming along well with you. Excellent write. Stand Strong!
