There came into life one day
A grave perplexity
O'ershadowing my every hour
With deep anxiety.
Then reason came and calmy said:
"Such grieving should not be
"Such grieving should not be
This care will seem a little thing
In life's entirety."
Thus reason spoke and I gave heed
Now vexing thoughts to me
Are viewed as a somber thread
In life's rich tapestry.

(Paula, I hope you read this poem, I wrote it for you)
Mill of hugs, I am in tears. You are such a treasure. Thanks for being out there
ReplyDeleteMargie, I am making believe you wrote that for ME, because it hit right between the eyeballs--a bulls-eye.
ReplyDeleteActually, this could well have been written for most everyone who has "lived" a little or a lot.
Thank you. "Life's entirety", I LOVE it.
such wonderful interpretation...
ReplyDelete♡
This is incredibly timely for me. We do need to remember all things pass
ReplyDeleteMargie,
ReplyDeleteWow! beautifully expressed. Things do pass, we must always remember that. I like to say, "Motor On!"
As it should be. You magic woman!
ReplyDeleteI love this :)
Beautiful work, as always, Margie! :o) I hope you are having a wonderful week!
ReplyDeletePaula is fortunate to be cared about like this. Anxiety takes energy that could be positive and we all fight giving in to the fear and stress. Knowing intellectually that we have so much to be thankful for doesn't replace the feelings of anxiety. I like this post and appreciate your insight.
ReplyDeleteWell said Margie. A thoughtful piece.
ReplyDeleteMargie, I think this is my favorite. it really gives me a lot to think about! Love it! Hope you are doing okay.
ReplyDeleteu play so well with words..
ReplyDeletebeautifully expressed :)..
urs..hemu..
Margie, this is just beautiful, it brought tears to my eyes. You are such a special person. Hugs
ReplyDeleteDear Margie, I had to return and huh again, Thanks for caring and thanks for hearing my cry for help. I do can accept the line of support, the words of love. Thanks again
ReplyDeleteYou are so right! I have only just recently learned how to live and view life like this and trust me, I think I've added years to my life. This poem is just the reminder I needed to keep this new 'head' going.
ReplyDeleteAs usual Margie, a classy bit of work from a very classy lady!!
Thats so true!!very well written.
ReplyDeleteHI MARGHIE -
ReplyDeleteoh my,how lovely. And again, you wax poetic what lives in my heart as I often say that each of my life's experience is a tapestry square of my design. And oh yes, some were difficult but once part of the entire tapestry they did not over shadow or take away from the other squares of my tapestry.
Love to you
Gail
peace.....
Transformation, transitions, awakenings, so well expressed here. Thank you for such shared revelations.
ReplyDeleteHi Margie, this has to be one of your best, love it.....Paula is fortunate to have you in her life.

I hope the adversity went away and life has come back to normal. Oh by the way, in the fourth verse, I would have used adversity (the poem's title) instead of anxiety :)
