PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I just spoke with one of my best friends late last night,

she can be quite negative at times and never see the light.

We talk about truth and down she was feeling,

and never replied and wanted to run away from it all really.

She tends to think her life is just wrong and no matter in it all,

she tries and cry?s and never gives it chance and allows herself to fall.

Complains about what she don't have and worries what others think,

for years I tell her who cares live life in what you have and be thankful,

Don't blink.

I get a call from her today and she surprises me with the news,

about three in the morning she wakes from an alarm sound view.

It was the fire alarm going off in her place and she smells smoke,

she got her son out and herself out safely before they choked.

Woke the others who live in the other complexes and called 911.

By the time they put it out she realized much she has is gone.

When she was telling me of all of this, and what was going through her mind.

She was more worried about her floors being clean and her dishes weren't done.

I said to her wow girl count your blessings that safety was found.

Sometimes we don't realize what we have until we lose it, when we loose

the priceless things we can never get back be thankful in your heart,

for the memories don't part.

Sometimes it just even the smallest things that can make us complete,

always giving thanks to God for the big, little we have and be blessed.

When we murmur ourselves to the point we tend to lose out,

then do we realize what life?s all about.
