I Don't Live in This List - "A Garden Lesson": Our duties, our repsonibilities, our obligations end up on our physical and mental "to-do list", and it can be draining. But there is a secret many already know; finding joy in unexpected places. A joy from within, experienced from the core, coming from things that have nothing to do with money, work, or duties. This is the gift we can give ourselves. face arched to the sun, reflecting upon tasks still left undone, Whether ten things to do or a hundred and one, I find golden moments in this garden lesson My life is on track and I consistently persist when I remember I'm not defined by this list My list of to-do's are not only tangible things such as shopping, cleaning or these poetic writings, there's children to nurture, family to call, with my disposition mastered and sunny can be a challenge, like facing the day, when for now, there's more month than money When the TV is on, the story's not art the suffering move into my heart, Without knowing, I begin to question myself What's my contribution, am I doing my full part? I've placed them inside and increase my soul burden their faces never dismissed I watch their journey, for it's a lot tougher than mine, then gracefully add their plight to my list And so goes my list, it continues to grow After-all, we care for those we know and don't know, but the garden lesson holds the secret to joy it's a simple flower, a smile, a mere helping hand, to remember the love our life kissed for we define ourself by the garden we plant not by what's-to-do on our list. Wishing you well, Barb Find your peace and find your place in this world Smile even when it hurts Complete your lifes plan See the beauty around you, it's plentiful You'll find it in the smallest things and always remember, you are loved Take Me To Your Beautiful Read Another Poem: A Humorous Poem Send a gift of poetry to someone you love (Poetry Contest Here) Songs of Hope Songs of Faith Sweet Dream Songs |
