Missed Beauty

Unhappiness fills so many hearts of today.
Always reaching for that elusive thread
that weaves through their
written book of life.
Carrying the burden of unhappiness
like an iron shackle
that drags them into the mire of painful despair.
As they struggle
and
agonize over the life that is set before them.
They are unable to see the beauty that is within their grasp.
Worrying about beauty, fame, riches,
or
worrying about the what ifs in life or I should have done this.
If Only.
Always flying into the different stages of life
blinded with tears and regrets
and hidden in the back of the their unpredictable mind
is the feeling of insecurity.
Oh children of the Earth if you would stop and look with your heart your very being.
The beauty you would see.
You would recognize the strengths that you possess.
You would recognize your inner beauty.
Your inner light.
Come my children, take my hand.
I am your loving Father.
I will give you the beauty and wisdom
of
everlasting life.
Come take my hand.

Love Bon-Bon

I am at this place right now.
Always wondering what's to come. Never concentrating on what's already here.

Bonnie,
I think this will get a couple of takers.

It's there, in every one of us. Some never find it, and some hide it once it's found...but it's there.

Hello everyone,
Glad you enjoyed. I think I have been down this road. When I was younger I was always looking for something, never happy with myself. Most of the time now I'm content with where I am, but sometimes not.
See Ya
Love Bon-Bon
