Poems and Ponderings

During the past few days this verse popped into my head, most of you might familiar with it: T o everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under the sun. A time to be born and a time to die; a time to plant and a time to pluck up that which is planted; a time to kill and a time to heal ... a time to weep and a time to laugh; a time to mourn and a time to dance ... a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing; a time to lose and a time to seek; a time to rend and a time to sew; a time to keep silent and a time to speak; a time to love and a time to hate; a time for war and a time for peace. ecclesiastes 3:1-8   It very much ties in with my lessons learned these past few years... 

A poem written some time back, dedicated to all women... I am and I have been I am now and I am yesterday I have seen time passing And I have moved alongside time I have seen the world change And changed with the world I have lived my life - Not always graciously But always determined to make it And here I am now Been there done that I see the world as it is around me But it does not affect me anymore I am at peace At peace with myself and the world around me I am content And I live my life as it was the last day of my life I am here and there and tomorrow I am past, present and future I AM Freestyle © J.Schulte-Zurhausen , 2011

The other day I came across this little poem which I will print out as a reminder Life is an opportunity, benefit from it. Life is beauty, admire it. Life is bliss, taste it. Life is a dream, realize it. Life is a challenge, meet it. Life is a duty, complete it. Life is a game, play it. Life is a promise, fulfill it. Life is sorrow, overcome it. Life is a song, sing it. Life is a struggle, accept it. Life is a tragedy, confront it. Life is an adventure, dare it. Life is luck, make it. Life is too precious, do not destroy it.   Life is life, fight for it.   Mother Teresa
