Count It All Joy

 

Count It All Joy

 

When life doesn't go as planned 

I think of what should've been 

Deep yearnings long for more

Reminds me that I am only human

 

It's not mine to foretell 

Wishful thoughts of my deceived heart 

I do err to think, imagine, conceive 

Folly returns to remind me of my nature 

 

I dare not trust to mortal men

My innermost desires to be realized

Flesh will always fail, even as I will

All men are numbered for time

 

I'll do what I can to the best 

To leave what can't be to rest

In this, I'll be satisfied, I tried

It was an attempt with joy

Chris G Peters were born on the most southerly gem in the necklace of islands spanning the Caribbean Sea. Here where the sun shines differently and set as though kissing the horizon, where coral reefs blooms, surf greets the sand, musical rendition of waves pounding the shore. A salty mist is in the air and the verdant beauty of nature abounds everywhere. Learn more.
