I’m Going About
A Simple Task
On A Normal Day
Minding My Own Business
In The Happy Life
That I Am So Grateful
I Have Been
Blessed With
When
Something Strange
And Unintended
Happens
For No Reason
A Mental Trip Wire
That Sets Off
A Thought
And Then I Remember
What I Meant To Forget
From A Time
Long, Long Ago
But Haven’t Yet
A Scar
Or A Tattoo’d Memory
On My Heart
That Still Remains
A Part Of Me
Bittersweet
Regrets
Of What Was Not
Meant To Be
And Then I Remember
The Heartaches And Hurts
The Sadness And Tears
And The Shattered Dreams
That Never Came True
And Then I Remember
They Were All Just
Steppingstones
That Led Me To You
And It Makes Me
Count My Blessings
And All The Reasons Why
I Love And Adore You
Like I Do
And Why I Never,
Ever Forget
You Are My World!!

Such a beautiful poem about love and gratitude. Yes as you said so beautifully all our scars and memories are the stepping stones for us to reach the hearts to the one who deserves us.

Thank you Dear Megha!! I’m so happy you enjoyed this!! Yes, I’m always tempted when asked what would you change in your life if you could! I think about it and then I always answer! I wouldn’t change a thing because if I did I wouldn’t end up with my wife!!! End of Story, no more questions! Ha!

Such beautiful and poetic wisdom! Our scars, heartaches, and “failures” are all little stepping stones to take us to where we’re meant to go. ❤

Ohh, You make this Little Ol’ Poet so happy with your sweet comment!! Yes, I can’t ever answer the question “What would you change in your life if you could?” with any other answer but – “Nothing!”. Anything different would have never let me find my Beloved!! So happy you get this!!!

Absolutely, I have things that have happened to me that at the time I truly couldn’t understand why, not that I’m happy that they are events that happened in my life, but I was able to help others in a profound way that it I believe maybe our souls were destined to meet to help each other. I guess I’m somewhat of a believer that everything happens for a reason…though I truly believe it’s mom complex than that.😊❤️
