If I had never failed at patience
I could not so much appreciate
The calm faithful outlook of someone
Who had waited longer than I.
If I had not lost confidence
I would never have known
The warm friendly clasp of hands
That reassured me.
If I had never waiverd
Somewhere along the way
I may never have
Seen the faces and heard the voices
Of those who have not lost faith
In me.
What better time than now
For a personal resurrection
"It isn't the end
but merely a new beginning."
Awwww!
ReplyDeleteThats a sweet one!
:)
I can relate to this. Very nicely said. When did you say your poetry book is coming out?
ReplyDeleteMargie thisw was just awesome.Something everyone can relate to. and certainly me.
ReplyDeleteLovely Margie... so Heart warming.. well done!
ReplyDeleteLovely. It's nice to think about those who have stood by through everything. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI guess even ends are beginnings and beginnings are ends.
ReplyDeleteI was serious there, but rereading it, I've come full circle and have confused myself. Your poem is much clearer though.
i love this one, margie!
ReplyDelete"...It isn't the end
but merely a new beginning."
so true!
...and the world is a better place for your having done so. Thank you for your strength, courage and insight. Happy new beginnings.
