It’s Ok

It’s Ok

we all start out small

and that’s ok

life is kinda long… it takes a bit of learning

to get it right…

part of that learning

comes from  the freedom to be a child

 while we still  are children…

to believe, without doubt

that we can climb to all heights…

sometimes we just have to do things

to see if we can do them…

even if the task at hand is too big

we won’t know unless we try

we may fail

but at least we tried…

some things in life may shock us

and that’s ok

its healthy to understand

all aspects of this world…

some days will be grumpy days…

just because they are

there will be days

we hide behind a  mask

to cover our true feelings

and some days

will be a real pain

but that’s ok

those days all help us appreciate the good….

it’s a big world out there

too big to comprehend sometimes

it’s ok to feel a little daunted by it all…

the day will come

when everything falls into place

and you’ll think to yourself

oh wow

I get it now…

but before we can reach that point

we need to discover

who we are…

and spend some time

walking life’s pathways

alone….

so we learn to understand

our self first

and then with friends…

its ok to just hang around

by yourself for a while

or invite someone to swing by…

there will be times

when we just have to

get our point across…

and times when silence

is welcomed…

it’s a good practise

to enjoy moments of sunshine…

as well as those times

rain falls beyond the window…

our path may take us to places

not to our liking

but its important

to experience

these places…

important to broaden

our horizons….

as tranquil as our own window might be

there really is a lot to see…

the diversity of this earth

should be experienced….

now, life can get stressful

so its ok to feel the pressure

that often fills each day….

and say to hell with it all

I’ve had enough for one day….

and order pizza….

wild & crazy adventures

make great memories

even if its only

a day tip…

and it’s probably wise to expect

 breakdowns and delays

detours and obstacles….

but have the courage

to carry on with the adventure

or adapt the journey

to fit in with the  complications….

in a world that is very often

chaotic

its helps to seize the moment

or steal  a kiss….

its ok to remember happy times

and smile fondly at the memory

reliving… for just a moment

the joy of that day….

and its ok to be sad too

with the memory

of loved ones

who have passed away…

sometimes memories

take over all thought

and that’s ok too

for a little while..

but don’t get lost…

because there is too much

to live for in the now

so much love

& so many reasons to celebrate….

new life fills the spaces

left by the departed

continuing the thread

of existence….

and new reasons to laugh

are born

when we put past pain

in the past…

its ok to take yourself

for a walk along the beach

a dog is good company

but if you don’t have one

just go anyway…

and its ok to write

a greeting in the sand…

who knows… the next person

to walk along

may really need a friendly sign….

as we age

our awareness

seems to change

we see things in a new light…

it’s a just a matter of concept

clarity

and perception…

we learn that simplicity

is our strength …

friends come in all varieties

each with a different smile

but all show the same emotion…

its cool to hang at the beach and chat

no shopping complexes

or 30 minute lunch breaks

no chores…. just friends together…

and its ok to act like a  fool

with children

too soon they will lose

that spontaneous

inhibition…

have you noticed

how reflections

really do

reflect the real world?

sometimes

the writing on the wall

can be confusing

its ok to ask for help….

not all signs in life

are easy to understand

and some make absolutely no sense at all….

when all is said & done

each of us will have many different experiences

but there will also be many we share….

life is not often easy my friends

I just wanted you to know…. I care….
