Lifejackets

Less than one minute read time.

Some days I feel I'm drowning

sinking way down low.

Some days I feel like giving up

and think I'd like to go.

But, looking up above me

I see a gleaming light.

I swim and kick and struggle

and push with all my might.

As I break upon the surface

I gasp and gulp for air.

I look all around me

and can't believe what's there.

Floating on the ocean

as far as I can see

lots of coloured lifejackets

waiting just for me.

As soon as I get near one

they wrap themselves around

and pull my weary body

to some safer ground.

"Where do they come from?"

I think I hear you say.

Well, they come from the people

I talk to every day.

People who understand

this journey we are on.

Whether it is short

whether it is long.

So, thank you my friends

that's all I'd like to say.

And, I hope I'll be a lifejacket for you someday!

Indie you are my inspiration!

    I apologise in advance, but I think I've come down with a nasty case of rhyming diarrhea, i just can't seem to help myself, lol

    I thank you for your kind words.

    But, alas I must confess.

    These words were never mine.

    I just put them into verse.

    Indie wrote them

    in her blog one day.

    She verbalised what's in our hearts.

    And what we'd like to say!

    I love your analogies Indie, you are able to express in words what we all feel but struggle to verbalise, well me anyway!

    Love to you all.

    Your words or not Classy

    it really does not matter

    the way you made them rhyme for us

    was such a clever act

    They made me feel so humbled

    and thankful for my life

    So here I bring my lifejackets

    and leave them in a pile

    Let me know when they run out

    and I'll get another set

    The brightest ones that i can find

    and leave them for my friends.

    Omg it's catching Classy x x x

    Hang on in there Indie, we all love you x x x

    Love and angel hugs x x x Patricia x x x
