~*~
Cry not,
my precious little one,
these pains in life
shall pass.
You are made
of will and might,
and not of splintered
glass.

Prevailing winds
have blown you,
from your
cozy shelf,
but soon you'll be
back soaring,
and be your sunny
self.

The knocks in life
can be so hard,
and knock the wind
from you,
but faith
and determination,
will surely see you
through.

So, get back up,
shake off the dust,
now go and seize
the day.
Never doubt
your inner strength,
to handle come
what may.

Linda, I love this. My deceased husband Mother use to have a saying she said quite often...."If a person falls down in a mud puddle, they don't have to stay down in it and wallow around". I guess that is a Southern way of saying to "get back up and shake the dust off". You think?

I'm keeping this, Linda, if you don't mind....to read over again and again.  

Heart hugs, Lady

"Get up and go on..." was as plain as my folks could make it.  No salt, pepper or sugar...just

"get up and go on."

Mr. T. ~

My Dad always said, "Sweetheart, you're just full of sugar and spice and everything nice."

--It's a Daddy's little girl thing!

Thank you for bringing up some wonderful memories for me.

Earth Angel...A most important write. You so beautifully capture the process of faith. We are all being molded in to that fine vessel, being refined in the fire and tested that we may be a thing of true beauty in the Lord's eyes. Wonderful poem!!! ***Ivy Rose

"Awesome" is awesome!

I'm pleased that my poem struck a chord of resonance with your own feelings.
