A Lesson Learned: In how to NOT Give Up!

RSS

By Tyler Cedric Golden

As I exceed the limits of all my strength, the energy I once had is drained, Power I wish I could absorb so I wouldn’t have to feel all of this pain, Powerless and hopeless I feel with nothing left to keep me going on this journey called life, Now I won’t be able to make it home, not even once more, to see my beautiful wife, I know not whether this is the end of my journey, I had life going good with a wife, kids, and a job as an attorney, If this is the end and destined as my fate, I will not regret and I will not hate, For I have tried so hard and have never given up, But I still wish I could make it to see my little boy mature and drive my truck, So many things I wanted to do before the end, One thing I did manage was to ask forgiveness for my sins, But now climbing this mountain on my journey back home, Maybe I shouldn’t of went this far, being alone, Well not much of a choice left now, The way I made it this far I don’t even know how, As I grab a hold of the rock that just may lead to the top, I’m getting tired and can’t keep my eyes open then I hear a pop, And the rock I grasped has broken and now I fall to my destination, Who knows what will happen, probably devastation, I close my eyes and think about what has all happened in this life of mine, And I wonder the end come so soon, is this really my time? I awake from a horrible dream, I look around with nothing to be seen, But that is because my eyes are still closed, As I slowly open them some one pinches my nose, Fully open I see my wife on top of me with a smile on her face, Now I have learned this destination is my place, A lesson, confusing and yet still learned, I could have went to the sky above or below and burned, But it is with my love I am with now and forever, Things like this in life only make us better.

Have you ever considered getting your poems published?
in maybe a whole book of all of them?

this could make alot of $$.
but that's not what poetry is about is it.

You are amazing though.
I believe you could go so far with your writing.

It's just so strong and inspirational
