Be happy not sad
Be rather glad
As quality of life will add
And that’s not at all bad
Instead it’s rather rad
And the knowledge is iron clad
Not at all a passing fad
Evolution, your life’s launching pad…

The first steps
Away from what you’ve known
Are the hardest.
–
Belief in self
Is key to your success
Achieving your dreams.
–
Learning from mistakes
Helps negate the pain experienced
During the lessons.
–
Feeling great peace
In respect to your past
Seals the present…

I have been to hell and back
Upon the most treacherous course
My life and memories in a virtual knapsack
Navigating my life, post divorce
–
I don’t know where I go next
But I know it’s going to be fun
My past days of being hexed
Are all finished and truly done
–
Endless adventures await my life
I’m enjoying the unknown of each day
Over are all my days of strife
And now it’s time to enjoy and play
–
Tomorrow isn’t guaranteed
So each our lives, we must not waste
For the hazards of our pasts we all must heed
To thrive inside our happy place
–
Endless days and laughing times
I look forward to enjoy
Sharing experiences with friends of mine
With hard learned lessons, I employ
–
Who knows next which way I go
Not even I can answer
But I’m enjoying the ebb and flow
Just like that of the dancer…

Take the lense and turn it round
Then look back and see its sound.
–
All The horrors of your past, aren’t so bad
As time has healed you, no longer sad.
–
They’re all just lessons that bared repeating
To assure, that you won’t be fleeting.
–
In a happy future that’ll never cease
Living life with endless peace.
–
Twist that lense and watch it turn
Past flames that will never further burn.
–
Take it in stride as your life flows higher
Earlier adversity now you’re admired.
–
Take those lumps that were dealt to you
And the remove them from somebody new.
–
It kind of makes it all worthwhile
Coming back from times, you couldn’t smile.
–
Just take it from me I know the score
Though there’s pain in life, there’s a whole lot more…

Loving yourself isn’t just ideal,
It is absolutely necessary
We all do have appeal
Not the contrary.
–
Knowing your value
Will save your life
In everything that you do
Preventing strife.
–
Hold on fast
To all your goals
The bad times won’t last
Though it takes a toll.
–
Push on hard
Through the fire
Even if needing restart,
On life’s high wire.
–
Be ever present
And live in the now
Drop your past resentment
As you push and plough.
–
Reap the happiness
Living your best life now
Share with all who’ll witness
Applied lessons and know-how.

Playing with fire with gas on your hands.
Think hard before making those ‘other’ plans.
–
Use common sense at the end of the day.
Or else you’ll get burned and you’ll pay.
–
Make better choices to live your best life.
Lest you end up with a gaslighting wife.
–
Follow your heart but augment with your head.
Remember everything that’s been shown and said.
–
No one opposes you but yourself.
So leave the negativity away on a shelf.
–
Take chances and change and grow.
For someday you will love them so.
–
Be kind to you, be your best friend.
Because you’re only yourself to the end.
–
Now we’ve come to the end of this rhyme.
Take your lessons to heart and have a good time…

I scrape my knuckles.
On a filthy glass strewn floor.
Then I taste the blood.
