Loving To Learn

Wisdom From Your Elders

By Kaylon ForsythPublished 2 years ago 3 min read

Sometimes time goes by so fast, that we take for granted the special moments, that do not last,

When we learn to live truly in the present state, we realize we can control to an extent our fate,

We cannot run from who we are, regardless of how many miles, or especially how far,

We must always keep our integrity, for if we don't, how can we ever be truly happy,

You should never try to use money to buy someone's happiness, in the end, if you do, you realize, you have now much less.

The secret to living a truly happy life, is buy conquering our shortcomings, and being with, in love, your husband, or wife.

Love can be a double edged sword, for the deeper it goes to the heart, the more when their gone does it cause pain, like hurtful words.

You can never run from your destiny, for trying to do so will leave you empty not happy.

Having someone to cherish in your life, makes the times much easier when you do confront strife.

living for love, and loving to live, is in truth, the best of our person, in my opinion we can give.

Laughter does indeed make the heart grow stronger, even in essence, when we can laugh no longer.

Many keys to life others have written about you see, but making your own from wisdom will help you to see.

When your struggling in the darkness, and can't find the light, remember who created you, and that it's always inside.

Some have to face adversities that are greater than others, but doing so makes you stronger, like a family, or two brothers.

Do not allow this world to break your spirit, for doing so will make it so the beauty goes deaf, and you cannot see or hear it.

If you live your life according to the golden rule, you won't have a shallow existence, instead your body will have much more fuel.

If your struggling to find the hope in your world, look inside your self and allow your spirit to be unfurled.

Music can be a great form of therapy, for without it, I would not have made it through so much adversity.

We all have things that we do, without reason, this calls for shadow work, and this is indeed the season.

Delving into your subconscious helps you see the light, it's dark at first, until you begin to gain your sight.

Allowing your self to embrace healthy hobbies, is like 10 secretaries working hard in ten lobbies.

Perfection is a process it's not a born trait, it's true that we live life, not on a balanced slate.

We will all see injustice sometime in our lives, but seeing these things can truly open your eyes.

Trying to live as a better person each day, will help you to grow stronger, and from your path, not stray.

Liking what you do is paramount to success, in fact if you love your career, you are truly blessed.

Learning wisdom from elders who have lived a good life, will help guide and guard you from unnecessary strife.

Don't let yourself fall into a status quo, for being who you are freely, is how we truly grow.

If you can't find the light in your life to guide you, look into your past, and the strengths that you have been given too

Living with the seasons is like a homeostatic state, you can't go wrong if your eating off your own plate.

Being responsible for what we are, is satisfying to say the least, it's like eating a well cooked meal, like a thanksgiving feast.

Brightest Blessings I say, to end this poem now, I truly hope it finds those who need light, in their life somehow.

I lost my wife back in 2019 and I started this as an outlet for my emotional expression in regards to the pain from the loss, it has helped me substantially since that time, and I have put great effort into all of my efforts since then.
