My Very First Poem!
When all around is dark
And all you know is night
Feel the hope within
And move towards the light
When sadness overwhelms
And you have lost your sight
A few gentle steps
Moving towards the light
When wounds begin to heal
We sense that near delight
Stirs our waking heart
Embracing inner light
When happiness is found
And all is calm and bright
Ever keep on reaching
Onwards towards the light
Happy 2nd Birthday to
movingtowardsthelight.com!
You were love
You gave love
You were joy
You gave joy
You were peace
You gave peace
Earthly life complete
Testimony standing sure
No hurt, no pain
Will you ever have to endure
If this be my only comfort
Allow it be my anchor
For all eternity
Gift to me, O Lord, I pray
Fruits that only Thou can give
Fill my heart with grace and truth
Love, joy and peace
And all things good
Smile!
And be happy 🙂
I wish
When we make friends we could keep them forever
I wish
When feeling sad, it could be waved away like feathers
I wish
When nighttime arrives, my dream will be one to treasure
I wish
When my fingers start to burn, there will be verses to write
I wish
When I feel pain, there will be those who would take the time
I wish
When I have something to share, there will be those who care
I wish
When I kneel to pray, my prayers reach where they need to go
I pray
For happiness and love, and all things good
I wish
In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “An Extreme Tale.”
It was the best of times
It was the worst of times
Thinking of these lines
First thoughts in my mind –
I hate it, I love it
When web services do not work
It can bring me to my knees
Why oh why oh please!
Troubleshoot and analyze
Sleep a luxury, no time to eat
Life comes to a halt
Because I have code that doesn’t run!
Managers, deadlines, clients
Breathing down my neck
We have a plan, don’t you know
Yeah I know, and I have code that doesn’t run!
What to do, what to do?
Calm down, breathe, make some tea
I have no time to sleep
Until finally
Sweet finally
After days and nights
Tears and strife
A few changes here and there
And we have success!
Oh sweet code, alive
I have a result!
Tears of joy, fall to my knees
Highs and lows
Moods and swings
Roller coaster work
Roller coaster life
I cannot remember or recall
The last time I cried real
Tears of Joy!
I cry all the time
I cry often
I am not scared of the emotional
Ride I travel on every day
But this morning I opened my inbox
Opened a Youtube
Sweet Angel singing to me
After a week of anxiety
Fear, excitement, lack of sleep
Unable to work
On unpaid leave
Before I could even stop
I had a river of tears
River of Joy
Flowing down my cheeks
If this is the only
Reward I ever will earn
It is enough for me
It is more than enough
My heart is overflowing
Causing Tears of Joy
To run down my cheeks!

Brings a smile to my face
Makes me happy!
