21. Life Will Bloom When It Is Ready
I keep pulling
on my roots
urging them to grow
impatient for the bloom
I keep pulling
on my roots
urging them to grow
impatient for the bloom

There would have been
so much I would have
done differently
if only I had known
First off, I like the poem. I too have pondered that same notion about going back in time and changing things for a better outcome. It's hard to say either way. Things could have been better...

When you are willing
to let go of
what you are used to
and what you are
You can be unhappy and still be in love.
You can be in love and still walk away.
You can walk away and still feel the weight of loss.
You can feel the weight of loss and still stand tall.
We never know if we're right
If we're not willing to be wrong.
We never know how far we'd go
If we never fight hard and long.
A wonderful poem and so true...
If we live in wait and hesitate, who knows what a future we would make. Life can change in an instant. Nothing is for sure. We should if we could take any...
I used to believe
that I had to learn
how to love myself
before I could take care
If they make you
work for their attention
fight for their affection
beg for their love
A sad truth that takes many of us far too long to realize. Just because we want something or even think we deserve it, doesn't mean we will get it or even need it.
Love someone as best you can,
but love.
And have a dog,
It is a small word
with a big bite,
the worst ever heard;
it is just not polite.
Each day we wake is such a gift;
No moment's guaranteed.
Tomorrow isn't promised,
But to fate we must concede.
This touches my heart deeply. I believe life is more about what "IS" rather than the what "WAS" with unresolved issues between family or friends. I am in recovery with four estranged...
When I was young and insecure,
And desperate to be liked.
I tended to withdraw in pain
And flee instead of fight.
Famous Poem
Don't look for the flaws as you go through life;
And even when you find them,
It is wise and kind to be somewhat blind
And look for the virtue behind them.
Sometimes life goes up and down between hills and rivers, but with even the least courage and a sign of faith in the turn we make at the sharp curve, it all levels up to positivity no matter...
I'll post all those pictures of me having fun,
Wearing my happiest grin.
Add a few comments to enhance the effect,
And impress all my great Facebook friends.
Live in the moment,
Just take it all in.
Pay attention to everything,
Right there and right then.
That was touching. It really said my whole life. I'm too busy with everything and I'm memorizing this to my heart. I'm busy with school. I take too much time thinking about tomorrow than...
Love is like a bicycle
Left out in the storm
If it's not protected
Rust begins to form
I realize I've reached the time
When it's very plain to see
That I now must be selective
In what my preferences will be.
Come for me, sweet tomorrow.
Help me touch the sky.
Like a well-learned bird opens its wings,
I, too, want to fly high.
Committing mistakes and then learning from them can be a great lesson of life. It can truly evolve a person into a nice gentleman. I remember, after passing out of the university, I joined an...
I've lived quite a while and learned quite a bit
About life and this world where we live.
I've found that it's filled with both good and the bad.
Some who take, while some others will give.
Some people view forgiveness
As a virtue for the weak.
An act of mercy undeserved,
That serves no useful need.
Hi Pat,
I was so pleased to wake this morning and find one of your poems. Everything you write comes from your heart. I have commented to you before of how I enjoy your poems and I feel...
Life is like a journey on the number 24 bus,
So welcome aboard, young one; come, sit here with the rest of us.
Let's hope you're going to be on here for more than just a while.
Look out of the window, young one, and enjoy every single mile.
