Bits Of Wisdom

****May your friendship remain strong all of your days,
May light show through the darkest of haze. And when you are in your darkest hours,
Your friends will be there bringing you power. To hold on to each other as all good friends should, Through the easy and rough, through bad or good*****

At Birth (A Short Poem)

Sometimes I look into my child's eyes and see wisdom not seen before. At their birth there's no surprise, so many things in store.

Their eyes wide, their hearts new, no love escapes their sight. This leads us all to begin anew and keep them to us tight.

Remembering of those things in past that opens up the gates. Our own eyes closed to these, at last, the child brings out this state.

*****Be loved, give love, see love, know love, seek love.
Allow the love of others to seep into your heart and
all emotions keep to train you in what you need to do
and what you need to say to help all others in their
journey on their way.***** _{^{(excerpt from another poem)}}

Looking Glass

Looking inside is all I can do some days. The windows become cloudy, yough to see through the haze. Then a day of clarity comes along and sings a sweet and wonderful song, about possibilities coming to view, And I look at life anew. The fears they flee for one swift moment, and then come back Like a comet. So i wait for another day when the clouds fade away.
