True Joy In Life


Posted on 22nd Feb 2021 03:19 pm by rohit kumar

I'll be happy once I've done this certain thing.

We all say this often, not realizing what it brings.

We look only to the future for our happiness,

Letting life slip through our fingers in its fullness.

 

Will we feel complete when the task is done

or look back and see how we missed so much fun?

Self-consumed so we can't see anything else,

hurting those we love as well as ourselves.

 

So many things around us to be grateful for.

When seeking an answer, willingly open the door.

So often, others see what's in front of our face,

but we're too blind to look as we're snared in the race.

 

When speaking to a man on his dying bed,

none of these answers are what he said.

Family, love, laughter are what we should seek.

These are the precious things that keep life from being bleak.

Love Sits On My Shoulder

Love sits on my shoulder and whispers in my ear.

It tells me how you love me and the word

You Have Shattered Every Memory Of Us

You have drowned every emotion of us,

Held it underwater until it could no longer breathe

Speak The Language Of Your Heart

Each day we wake is such a gift;

No moment's guaranteed.

Tomorrow isn't promised,

My Love....

From the moment our eyes met,

My soul could never forget.

You handed me your numb

Unhappy..

I want to love again,

but my heart will not obey.

I want to be happy,

but

Long Lost Friends

To feel that sense of comfort

That you felt in times gone by.

To hug someone with

No Such Thing As Happy Endings

The first night they meet

He knew it to be true

This girl who lied before him

Forever Friends

The friendship we have is so rare to find.

We hate to see each other in a bind.
