Or in the end does your conscience prevail?

I've never wished for fortunes,
I've always prayed for better things.
I'm happy and contented,
Never wanting to live like a king.

I love the flowers that bloom in spring,
for all the joy and love they bring.
I love the sun that warms the sky
It’s the simple things
that bring me joy
it’s being with you
that fills my soul
If this day is my last,
I will be rejoicing,
Reminiscing my memories since my life came to being.
I will spend this day only by praying
How about sad but hopeful.
Lonely but looking inward.
Resting but planning your next step.
If I could create a picture book of
memories from the past,
every chapter a masterpiece
of unforgettable moments rehashed.
We can all live and just be
Who we are meant to be in life.
Allowing love to set us free,
Rather than giving into strife.
There will be days
when your heart will break.
And there will be days when
your heart will soar.
Inspiring. Truthful and well-written. I like it. Good read.
Famous Poem
Let me but live my life from year to year,
With forward face and unreluctant soul;
Not hurrying to, nor turning from the goal;
Not mourning for the things that disappear
I walk slowly down the streets paved with sadness,
Addicts begging for favors and pleading for change,
Desperation plagues their dark hollow eyes
And their hearts, they are empty and I
When my father died, I though my world had died too. I no longer cared about anything, things I once cared about had no meaning, no worth. Unfortunately, this included not only material...
You are the only one
who can save you
no one else can
do it for you
Along this huge labyrinth
That we call life,
You will face great trials,
Adversity, and strife.
This is what I like reading. I love it! It reads so calm and peaceful, so soft and warm. You did an excellent job.
I hate people who’ve hurt me
so you’ll never hear me say
I must love them harder.
I know that
Your springtime has gone.
Your summers have passed.
Autumn's now waving goodbye.
"I"n this moment, my heart is open.
"N"ever before have I felt such powerful emotion.
It is "N"ow that I realize the true meaning of living.
It is for being loved, loving, "A"nd also forgiving.
There is no reason to feel troubled
if your path has not been made clear to you yet.
When you remain true to your spirit,
courageous in action,
When you stop trying
to fit into a world
that you don’t belong to anymore,
you grow
Ever gotten there?
To that place where
You have nothing to prove
and can just be.
