My Ode To Elegy

Ahhh! It's been such a long time that I have not composed an original poem. It used to be an effortless activity, a gift from above for me to just sit down, write my thoughts into words and in just 5-10 minutes, boom! I need to harness that talent again. For pretty soon, my memories, just like the photographs, will soon fade away...

“Lord grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.”

Dark skies, calm winds, quiet waters, the sunset is just a glimpse.
No one in sight, I am alone, happy moments are just a dream.
My youth is gone, some things I haven't done,
My days are numbered, but in the past, I had some fun.

Lord, I have been your instrument, some lives I've made amend.
But my aching heart, in all honesty, I failed to mend.
I am not perfect, I never will, but please, do understand.
I am just human, I make mistakes, my life is in your hands.

Before I close my eyes, before I am finally laid to rest.
Let me glance at the sunrise, and reminisce my young life full of zest.
For when the sunset is here, to take my last breath away,
I'll never regret the fact, that once, I PASSED THIS WAY.

Mi amigo, Dan,Thank you once again..I think, most of us, bloggers experience the same thing, when we look at something or someone, a sudden idea comes up, and we find ourselves typing every word that comes to mind, because a few minutes later, we will be distracted by other events that may take place anytime...

Thanks Jo...I can relate so much into this prayer too. ALl my life, I knew that there are so many things I couldn't control, no matter what I do. But the kindness and generosity is up to me. I've worked so hard, and I shared most of the fruits of my labor to my loved ones, and even friends, because I know the feeling of those who are less fortunate. Life is full of struggles, and each one of us have our own cross to carry. I will carry mine till "HE" lifts it up for me. I understand, that each day of my life, nothing can happen to me that both HE and I, together, cannot handle.

Thank you Hon! Each one of us have our own gifts, like you do have that special blogging talent as well. Just like a pen, you GLIDE easily. There are many people who received their "gifts", but they refuse to open them. Why? they believe in saving their best for last..
