I Stand Tall

I Stand Tall

The storm is blowing real hard… can’t explain

I’m forced to believe it’s hurricane

Life’s arrows at me are dart

And then the sun’s smiles depart

I’m made to wonder what I’ve done

Or better still what I haven’t done

But one thing I’ve decided

And in my heart thus abided

That life may hurl it missiles my way

Alas! I would not be swayed

I’ve made up my mind to stand tall

 not to be overridden by travails…at all

Never to despair for what I know would pass

And then my courage all these would surpass

I’d not allow me be defined by circumstances  

Even as the pull from all sides advances

I can’t deny my heart bleeds sometimes

But I choose to be happy at all times

And all of these I dare to say I stand tall!

Hi Sweet Rose,

The winds blow strong, bending all in their path.  They bring gusts of uncertainty.  Our brave heroine no longer kowtows to their travails.  She has found her inner strength, to jeer in the face of adversity, and stand tall.  For the pendulum of life always swings back from darkness to the sun.

Hugs, Peace and Love,

Daddio xxx

Hi Rose,

A lovely message to be taken from this piece, "we (all),fall down in life but a survivor gets right back up and continue trying, until the intentions they sought, has been gained. Showing the determined heart you have, to get right back up, no matter what obstacles, are placed before you..Even if sometimes you find yourself hurt in the process of trying to do what's right... You are a giant amongst all of your adversities my friend and will keep standing tall, no matter what...Problems in life come and go quite naturally but it is how we handle those problems, is what determines the favorability, of whethet the outcome is one from lessons to be learned, or ones we will find ourselves, to go on and repeat once again, one time or another.......Love the light you shed on situations we tend to leave festering in the dark..Lovely poem and awesome is the rhyme..Jim
