When It Is Time To Change

Things happen in three
One thing after another
The second thing broke for me
I laughed and waited for the other.

Fixing was never a problem
knowing how to do it quickly
But it takes its toll when
We take it too seriously.

Here was another fine mess
I stood back to look deeper
but was starting to stress
As the problems loomed larger.

it was Then I lost control,
Now I was beginning to see
Things happened in three
But different, in thier toll.

Where did I go wrong?
stop enjoying my life?
The same things were going on
But Now they cut me like a knife.

Time to change how I see.
Whether it was sun or rain,
It was How things appeared to me
That caused the pain

Things will always go wrong
There will always be the pieper to pay
whether we are weak or strong
We can not control the day.

What matters the most
Is how we count the cost
What we do with the fact
that we have won or lost.

Thanks, Robert; how true.

Well said Robert, the last stanze does sum it all up beautifully, does'nt it ??? stay well and stay blessed, Pauline R

I appreciate your visit and post Lawton. Have a great day!

Thank you Pauline, this was a breakthrough for me, and I suspect
that people who have depression could read this poem closely
and find some answers that are not chemical. This one took me
a while to put together. We each have our lessons in life
to learn and everyone is different.

It may be a poem, or a song. It maybe one statement by
a dear friend or it may be simply someone who understands
that causes you to finally understand what you have been
fighting to learn for years.

Enlightenment may also come in the twinkleing of an eye
of a passing stranger.

Live is full of wonderful blessings. We only have to see them.

Robert
