Perceptions

 I don’t understand 

Yet I must accept 

That hardship happens 

Pain is inevitable 

And that

I am to be

The picture 

Of empathy 

Because 

In Baptism 

I gave allegiance 

To You

And not

To past 

Perceptions

    Wonderful poem...
    Joe is not tech literate at all and had fought tooth and nail to maintain that but he is realizing that that was a mistake..
    Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by and for letting me know that you did by leaving a comment!! Stay safe, healthy and happy!!
    Hugs,
    Debbie

    One only has to remember the pain and humility that Jesus went through to know that God loves us 🌹

    Dearest Regine,
    The pain we have to bear is often not easy but when we focus on our life after death we can muster the strength.

    Pain is often a part of life. With the help of God, we can learn and grow from pain.

    There are so many kinds of pain -- physical, emotional, fleeting, chronic.... empathy is such a gift when received.

    It's good to empathize with other's struggles. We should try to be a beacon of light for those in a dark place.

    Yes, it seems that little growth is achieved without the pain of difficult circumstances that keep us close to God. Beautifully expressed Regine

    A dor é inevitável... mas sofrer... é opcional!
    Há sempre tanta gente em piores circunstâncias do que nós... e ainda assim, enfrentam as dificuldades com um sorriso...
    Estou adorando, os seus poemas, inspirações e pensamentos, Regine!
    Beijinhos! Tudo de bom!
