i am learning to let be all that was
          meant to be.
Slowly, I'm learning to let Love
          be free.
No longer crushing madly,
          killing love.
Now, gentleness and peaceful
          waiting.
Timing no longer frantic,
moments of sweetness lost
to anxiety and fear,
precious gifts of love unseen,
          through angry haste.
Never too late - this moment is here.
This moment to be savored,
          to be.
All the time I need to be still,
          to be aware.
To savor Love's sweet moment.

Oh Ellie, this poem is absolutly beautiful!!!
What a lovely way to start the day...
finding this inner peace is so healing and gives us so much strength. This poem is full of wisdom and grace...

"Never too late - this moment is here.
This moment to be savored,
          to be.
All the time I need to be still,
          to be aware.
To savor Love's sweet moment."

just beautiful...

They are not measured by the commitment of time.
Some emotions run too deep to be described by words,
Forgiveness and understanding-
remain the most beautiful words ever heard.

Beautiful indeed!  Inner peace that comes from God's love.  What comes to mind is "BE still and know that I am the Lord."

Where there is faith,
there is love.
Where there is love,
there is peace.
Where there is peace,
there is GOD.
Where there is GOD,
there is no need.

Ellie,
Such a difficult thing in life is to learn to trust God enough to let things be the way they are supposed to be and feel peace about it. What is, IS.   This expresses it so beautifully!

Amen & Amen, a delightfully insightful poem-which reflects the wisdom of experience and maturing,(note I didn't say age!) I can relate well to what you are saying.  Should we tell the younger ones also that If we don't slow down on our own, that God & Time have a way of doing so and thus giving us the opportunities which we once sped by, unnoticed?  Thank dear Ellie for another truly blessed poem,   David

Thank you for this beautiful message, Ellie!
As an old man of 83, I thought that after 60
years of marriage, to the same woman, I knew
enough of the female psyche to understand her
fully.  Being one of the few males on this
forum has confronted me with some truths I
was not yet aware of, and I learned... So,
again, thank you Ellie, and all the other
sweet girls that write here for teaching me
those valuable lessons.  BTW, my wife says
hello to you, she loves your poems, too. And
with good reason.  

Willem

Ellie this one is SO good, I just had to read it again and bring it back up so all could enjoy its sweetness...
so it can "Just Be" here for awhile longer..."Still"...(smile)
