A Piece of ME via 'Stoetry'

When everything seems to be going wrong

Don't give up

Everything happens for a reason

Bad things too have their season

When the world is against me

Me and MY ALL go right back against it

God leads me through the arid deserts of Dripokets

and rescues me from the Fangs of the BOA

When I meet those forks in the road

Or major intersections and spaghetti loops

With highway signs that can't be cracked

Traffic lights that do not work

And all police on a donut run or coffee break

He leads me along the path He destined for me

And puts me on his preprogrammed cruise control

With the necessary shock absorbers and brakes

For when I tend to make my own turns

When I'm troubled by thoughts-

Oh there are so many

His still small voice helps me move on

Forgive and Forget, He tells me to let go

So I do, but forget - how to, I don't know

(I'm still trying though)

As my daddy always says, Life is not fair

Yet I think of all I have been blessed with

I should not complain

I am ever grateful for family and real friends

The known and unknown guardian angels

Those who support, advise, encourage, motivate and inspire

Me to be ME, and not to please another

Me to be ME, and respect and love me the way I am

and  the values for which I stand

Me to be ME, to make a positive impact in the world

no matter how small

Me to be ME, and to be the best that I can be.

So this was quite an interesting piece in its formation, kind of a story I tried to tell as a poem but did not really fit in verse form (as I was trying to). I like to call this ... Stoetry, one of my many forms of expression since I don't have to be limited to set paragraphs or iambic pentameter. boundaries unlimited - that's the way I do me best!

This is to God without whom I would not be where I am today and to all those who have contributed to my life and being, positively and negatively (we've got to learn from mistakes right?)

BE YOU! So Help us all God. Amen!
