A PIECE OF WELL LIVED ART

A PIECE OF WELL LIVED ART

Everyday ,that I can open my eyes
And see the sun peeking through my window
I jump out of bed with a smile on my face
Grateful for another day to borrow
I never use to wake up this way
I thought life, had dealt me a death-blow
I couldn't look forward to anything
In my life, I was a no-show
But then I had a change of heart
Now I see the brighter side
Everyday`s a fresh new canvas
And I'm not living, like I died
I've learned to appreciate
Just the fact that I'm alive
Everyday, I'm given one more chance
To do my very best and thrive
Seeing with the eyes of gratitude
With a change of mind, a willing heart
I discovered life is what you make it
I'm making mine, a piece of well lived art

Wow, you always blow me away with your wonderful comments!
You put a huge smile on my face!
But you know what this means, I'll be writing and writing till I get very old and start mumbling, writing incoherent juberish on paper.  LOL Thank you Tony!

Lol!!... please do!!..... just do one thing for me..... when you begin with the gibberish..... please send me a copy.....LOVE that stuff!!...... smiles...... the reason I follow you dear sister poet.....is because you're studying to be an architect...... which says three things to me......1) you have a great appreciation for the quality of effort put into things 2) not only do you think outside the box ~but you can visualize outside of it as well. 3) you have a steadfast belief system.......ALL VERY IMPORTANT requirements in anyone attempting to seriously express themselves artistically!!....... so...... here's to you girlfriend!!....... I'm already proud of you..... smiles......T xo ?☀✴✳♥

My Dear Gayle,

A beautifully written piece, with heartfelt emotions about your very interesting life.

She paints the canvas of her new found life
One no longer portraying agony and strife
The latest palette is now pasteled and bright
Replacing the old one, that was dark as the night

Hugs, Peace and Love,
Larry xxx
