Life is for Living

  |   By  |  0 Comments

A new poem for you to consider and how these words can be applied to many contexts. Inspired by an event and conversations, I wrote this poem in five minutes.

“Life is for living, not for quitting

Life is truly yours, not for fitting

Into someone else’s idea of how it should look

Life is for uplifting, not for hitting

Your own face when it doesn’t work

Life is not about splitting yourself in half

Life isn’t all about sitting either

But just turning up and not necessarily winning.

When something needs to be done, do it.

When someone needs your love, show it.

When someone needs a friend, be it.

But above all be a friend to yourself.

Because without that

You life will never feel like a life that is fulfilling or forgiving

When things are messed up

                            chucked up

                             mixed up

TRUST that it will all work out in the end

As intended

All in unison

Blended, not offended

PEACE! “

As writers don’t sabotage your growth, write. As crafters craft, as photographers, take pictures. As walkers, walk and as healers heal. As carers, care and as makers, make. As musicians play and as gardeners, garden the seeds of today for tomorrow’s harvest, because it is all good and worthwhile and ENOUGH.

You are enough. TODAY ALWAYS.

That’s my message for this week. Plain and simple and getting back after a break for work involving the new tax year, of exciting plans and new moves. Also, been painting a daughter’s kitchen:))

Until next time, when I will be talking about therapy the colour of blue. Interested to hear my thoughts then see you next week.
