The Nature Of Love.

blessings, Disappointments, grief, happiness, Joy, love, Poetry by Yu/stan/kema., Risk and love., sadness

I have fought so many battles

Over all these years.

I’ve come to accept

Some days are filled with tears.

 

For when your kind spirit

Believes there’s good in men,

Despite acts of betrayal,

You don’t give in and sin.

 

The weight of disappointments

Breaks your heart in two.

Even with lots of blessings,

Grief steals a part of you.

 

Love can make you happy.

Giving brings you joy,

Yet it often brings great sorrow

And pain that can destroy.

 

To risk is a gamble,

But if you do not try,

You’ll wonder what you missed,

After your last “good-bye.”

Grief Brings Heaven Or Hell.

Grief comes like a quiet thief                                  

Found on Pinterest on 2-9-16..Graphicdesignfunction. Conceptual photography. Helping hand.

In the middle of the night.

It shakes and rattles the soul

And removes all that is bright.

 

Grief brings forth mighty rage

And takes away happiness.

It leads a soul to hell

To doubt God’s righteousness.

 

Grief causes a loss of reason

And brings the mind to its knees.

It often destroys trust

And causes hope to cease.

 

Yet, grief can cause the heart

To turn and reach for love.

It can bring the soul to ask

For God’s help from above.

 

Grief can bring forth change

In the life filled with despair.

It can cause a heart to give,

Help others, and show it cares.

 

It can cause a man to throw

His selfish pride to the ground,

And admit he can’t do it himself

Without God coming around.

 

Grief can bring heaven or hell

Into the life of a man.

It’s really up to him

To do whatever he can.

Things Change.

death, grief, People change, Poetry by Yu/stan/kema., Things change.

I saw sweet sorrow

Follow me around the bend

Of the road by the grave-site

Of my best friend.

 

The words I could not speak

Seem to stick inside my throat.

The things I never did

Now seem so remote.

 

I took the time to follow

The path that leads down

To the place where she lies,

Six feet under the ground.

 

My heart weeps for her.

This loss can shatter me.

I need to let go

And accept reality.

 

No one understands

All the reasons why,

People sometimes change,

Despite how hard you try.

 

Life can bring a gift 

And then take it back.

It’s not out of punishment,

Or some thing you  lack.

 

Nature teaches us

That life is often  strange.

Just when you get use to it,

Some thing else can change.

In Dying.

Death comes like a robber 

In the middle of the night

And changes the faces

Of those we hold tight.

 

Found on Facebook Timeline on 7-24-17. Country and Farm Photography. Taken by Carolyn Anderson.

We sit beside the dying,

See the ravages of time

Reflected in our loved ones,

And feel it is a crime.

 

Because we feel cheated

That we’ll never see again

The energy of youth

And things that might have been.

 

We remember all the secrets

We wish we had told,

And words we left unspoken

While we both grew old.

 

No one knows the dreams

We hid deep inside,

Nor the precious moments

When we both gave in to pride.

 

So it is with sadness, 

We watch their last breath,

As they let go of life

To embrace the arms of death.

Losses Occur In Life.

The River rises in the darkness,

And the wind snaps giant trees.

Cold moves down from the mountains,

And plants droop as they freeze.

 

The storm releases its fury,

And a huge tree falls down,

To lie helpless and alone

On the hard, frozen ground. 

 

Nature can hit without warning.

Destruction, can be the result.

Losses occur in life,

And often, it is nobody’s fault.

 

For storms are a part of nature,

And life gives and it takes.

Trees fall in the forest,

And loving hearts can break.

Where Did The Good Times Go?

Good times, good values, grief, life changes., Pinterest photo-The rain., Pinterest photo-Vicente Romero., poetry by Yu/stan/kema

I miss seeing people smile,                                  

Found on Pinterest on 5-30-17. Painting of Vicente Romero. Polly Weitering Art Paintings.

Taking the time to help each other,

Sitting down at the kitchen table,

And complimenting one another.

 

I miss seeing children read,                                    

Playing outside in the sunlight,

Laughing so hard they cry,

And walking together at night.

 

I miss children saying hello, 

Gathering flowers for the old,

Asking questions about God,

And sharing mittens when it’s cold.

Found on Pinterest on 5-8-16. The rain.

 

What happened to this world                               

 When we all fell asleep?

Technology took control,

And all we do is weep.

It’s Raining In My Heart.

The rain falls gently in

The early morning light. 

A wall of gray clouds

Keeps the sun out of sight.

 

Rain drops sound like                              

Found on Pinterest on 5-15-17. Myriam-Kemper.de

Tiny little feet

Dancing on the surface

Of my window seat.

 

The rain hits me hard 

In the center of my heart.

Nothing is the same

When a friendship falls apart.

 

Storm clouds block

The sun from getting in,

Because my soul knows,

I’ve lost my best friend.

 

Rain can comfort us,

Or it can cause great pain. 

It can change our history,

Where nothing feels the same.

 

We can decide to leave,

Or we can choose to stay,

Knowing the pain inside

May never go away.

The Grieving Bee.

Found on Pinterest on 6-1-17. Still Flying by Mohan Duwal on Fivehundredpx.com.

Jack was a very curious bee,

Still he avoided the boundless sea.

He knew if he fell in to the waves,

He’d never know nectar from a pear tree.

So he huddled near by, under a leaf,

With hope in his heart and the strong belief,

That someday he could find love again

If he could live through this terrible grief:

 

He once loved a bee as sweet as wine,

And he made her his valentine.

She would race from him to the flowers

And dance with him before she’d dine.

They came together one stormy night.

She laid by him, snuggled in tight.

He wanted her for the rest of his life.

He found her dead in the morning light.

 

She had fallen down

From the tree to the ground.

She had fallen so quickly

Without a sound.

He mourned her for days

Her sweet, gentle ways.

He’d imagine her dancing

In  the sun’s rays.

Found on Pinterest on 6-1-17. awesomeinventions. com.

 

He decided to travel home for a while,                        

And try to forget her wonderful smile.

He traveled back to where he was born,

Knowing full well he was in denial.

He learned that: Bees come and die;

Sometimes there just isn’t a why;

Live in each moment as much as you can;

And don’t let good love pass you by.

Don’t Grieve For Me When I Die.

Lay me down, beside the still water

Where the wild flowers grow,

And the rush of the wind

Bends the grass to and fro.

Turn my face towards the sun,

So its rays will keep me warm.

Build a shelter over me

To protect me from the storm.

Please, do not grieve for me

As I cross to the other side,

For there are trees and flowers,

And God’s arms are opened wide.

He will cradle and rock me

Until I’m strong again.

I will soon feel  peace

And joy growing within.

Grief Is Like A River.

and Joy., grief, Pinterest photo, poetry by Yu/stan/kema, sorrow, There is sadness in that., We all yearn for what we can't have.

Grief is like a river

That has no end.

You yearn for things     

You can’t have,

What might have been.

Life is full of joy

You hold tight to,

For it enliven’s living

In ways you can’t forget.

Things become brand new.

 

Sorrow lives forever

Deep within the soul.

It’s never forgotten,

Though life is good.

We yearn to be whole.
