Once I Was A Whole |

+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+ I once was a shining whole But I shattered into fractions, ~ Full of disappointments And life's dissatisfactions. At times the ledgers balanced, Then at others they did not. Some brimmed with happiness, And others rife with fraught. Whenever I thought in negatives, Things grew from bad to worse. ~ Until I thought in positives, And discarded the perverse. I've long since integrated, Myself back to a whole. I look at all the good in life ~ Adding Light to my soul! +*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+ |

Earth Angel, this is just wonderful. Made me remember how I used to get myself out of what I called the "blue funk." I would get so cynical that it became totally ridiculous....which led to making fun of myself....and laughing. Somehow, laughter seemed to pull all my pieces back together again. Smiling happily to read your whole poem.....KBHBLY....lily jo |

Nancy ~ I aim to please! lol In actuality, I please myself when I write on a "positive" note! ~ It can lift my spirits as well if I happen to slip into the doldrums! ~ May all your days have a positive spin and lift your spirits high! Linda |
