Oh, to be glad again!
not just glad for any reason
but glad
just to be glad
for reasons of existence
for a chance to look ahead
and plan for
ways to make life better
and happier
and freer.
It is said
to be glad
is the harvest
of the quiet eye...
the not looking long distance for happiness
Being glad is
Where we refuse
to let trifles
ruin our moments
of peace
and contentment.
Oh, to be glad again!
well said Margie. We should remember to always do good to others, so we get it back in return. Good night :)

ReplyDeleteI am up so late...
That early evening nap was not a good idea.
And, guess what the poem you responded to here is not what I have posted now. I did not like it
so much. It sounded like a sermon
... not really me.
So, now I have this poem.
I am glad you did like the other
poem though.... Thanks!
Now... I have to try and get some
more sleep.
Good night... or rather good morning!:)
grrrrr... this is the second time.... lol. First i comment on Linda's poem and you nuke it, and now this... LOL... Just kidding. This one is lovely too. Be happy. Always. I'm glad you are glad :) Take care. G'nite Margie.

ReplyDeleteSorry about that!
I did not know anyone saw that poem about my friend Linda.
Maybe I will put it on again...
as Linda would like it.
She does read my blog.
Dang... it is late... I have to get to bed.

I'm always the most glad when I hear my boys laughing together and when I'm praising in church. Nothing comes close to those feelings.
ReplyDeleteI rejoice in your gladness, Margie. So beautifully said.
