Embrace the Day by Michael Auguste Sometimes we all have knelt in pain Our lives in tatters, soiled and torn And thought we'd lose our sanity So broken we and so forlorn I know I have such memories I know like me, you also do So empty did we feel that day The broken pieces, yet no glue And if we had the glue it seems Why piece them back and then go on When all that's left are broken dreams And the journey to make alone? We piece them back because we must To find new hope in days unborn Though hurt, we have to learn to trust And bury days that now we mourn It's hurt and yet our heart will strive It hungers for such tenderness It's wounded but it will survive And longs again to taste a kiss And kissed again, if so you choose Embrace the day and you'll be free Let others see how young your heart Wherein there lies such purity One life we have but many days And many years a chance to take To shape it into perfection With the decisions that we make We'll make mistakes but don't lose hope Each day renews our spirit so Your heart will once again be kissed And once again, will love it know |

Michael~ From prayerful knee now standing, each day a promise reigns ... An embracing kiss from life itself to give us hope again. An umbrella canopied of sunshine to warm us with the rays. A light to shine on others the rest of our days. Each heart longs for sustaining of hope beyond a fall ... Enveloped in the grasp of friends taking nothing ... giving all. *Thank you for the lovely inspiration, Michael. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

And kissed again, if so you choose Embrace the day and you'll be free Let others see how young your heart Wherein there lies such purity One life we have but many days And many years a chance to take To shape it into perfection With the decisions that we make We'll make mistakes but don't lose hope Each day renews our spirit so Your heart will once again be kissed And once again, will love it know wonderful creation but especially like the last three stanzas....superbly done in it's ending. |

Oh, Michael..... "Embrace the day, and you'll be free" I don't have enough words to tell you how wonderful this whole poem really is, and I plan on keeping the line above!!! You are so good at making others feel happy..... Well done, my good friend! Today is a gift.... That is why they call it 'the Present'! |

beauiful peom. It's speaks of hope and dreams, I'll remember it if and when I come across this feeling again "Those who will not learn to use this instrument well cannot be saved by an expanded alphabet; they will only afflict us with expanded gibberish" ~ |

Hi Auguste, the verse I treasure like more than any other is the one that rhymes like this... "We piece them back because we must" Though hurt we have to learn to trust" I sighed and caught a tear on cheek as I read this verse it speaks a thousand words... Wonderfully written Coco |
