Month: January 2023

Mistakes still happen
Despite recognising them;
Forgiveness is key.

A cold clear night sky,
Dogs barking at the bright moon
While the stars twinkle.

Mistakes of the day,
Like fallen leaves blown by wind,
Pass swiftly from view.

Some lessons are hard
Though they may seem obvious.
Real change demands work

When the path is blocked,
Water flows around the rock,
But not straight through it.

There will be failure,
This is inevitable;
Look for the lesson.

Your health is your wealth
To be treated with respect
Regardless of age

True courage is found
In facing life’s challenges
Regardless of fear

Persist and resist;
The stoic’s chosen pathway.
Simple, and yet not

A pause, to take stock.
In much need of reminding
That focus is key

Noon, and frost remains.
Paws gallop on the crisp grass,
Chasing nose to tail

Remain encouraged;
Much good to be thankful for,
Despite the slip ups

Face adversity, 
And notice hidden therein
Opportunity

To spend a moment
In quiet contemplation;
A most precious gift

Strive to be better;
A spirit of selflessness
Will ensure progress
