Life Lessons

Life Lessons

Goals and ambitions are not as they were.

Where I am that no longer seems to matter.

As a river meanders its course to the sea,

I have changed being on this glorious journey.

Growing and learning I have found myself here,

Passing years making so much abundantly clear.

All the hardship and trials I have come through

Thankfully moulded an enlightened point of view.

..................................................................

Not overly concerned with worldly possessions,

Not to be distracted by self-indulgent obsessions

I focus now on what I consider to be of true worth,

Grateful love and friendship highlighted the truth.

Life is appreciated in company of fellow travellers,

As sharing laughter and tears provides the answers.

Kindred spirits are we, having to care for one another.

On the road we face the same challenges, together.

Hello Richard...

I agree with you a millionth percent...

What we can purchase is much less than valuable than...

What we learn...

A great friendship and love...

Are the ultimate ingredients to happiness...

Great inspirational write!
