My Life, A New Awakening.
46Spring Lamb
Visions
Fifty four years I have lived in this lifetime,
but today the bubble has burst.
I see sunshine and raindrops, hear bird song and children laughing,
the wind in my hair, and the softness of grass underneath my feet.
My sight is clear, not covered in mist,
and my children are happy, not shrouded in shadows.
The past will remain in the past, and no more shall I weep,
or live my life in depression, or fear of recrimination.
Today realisation has dawned, and a bright light shines above me,
I have reached up my hands to feel the vision, although I am no angel,
and I want to be part of this life again.
I want to caress every minuet of every day,
and feel the love surge through my veins.
I want to walk on air, dance with the trees and turn my face upwards
to catch the snow drops before they hit the floor.
I want to hug my friends, love my man and share all that I am.
Wrinkles, what wrinkles, I do not worry now,
a weight has been lifted away from me, and somehow I smell fresh air,
not hidden with the depths of grief and stink of depression.
I drive an old bangor, but at least it goes,
I don't have a huge bank account, but at least I am not broke,
I don't have many friends, but I have good neighbours.
But most of all, I don't have the best of health, but I am alive.
I am alive and willing to seek changes, challenges, bring them on.
Thank You
This little piece of prose is written for all the fellow hubber's who have supported me in so many ways. Novelty Reviews was so correct in his concepts of my writing, that he has opened my eyes to reality, and his courage to critique my work truthfully, has given me the encouragement to move on. THANK YOU.

This is beautiful and inspiring! The photos are beautiful as well!
drbj thank you for your comment hunnie, I think I have a touch of spring fever or is it madness lol?
mannyrolando, thank you for stopping by, it is lovely to meet you. Maybe there is something in the air and may it long continue for us all.
Love you sweetie, and I hope you are as happy and joyous as that prancing little lamb!
Maybe we'll stop by one day and you can take us to one of your famous, neighborhood pubs. I'd love that!
Ahhh darling Bill, thank you so much for your lovely comment. I wish I could plant a great big smacker on that lovely face of yours. You are very welcome to come and stay, in fact I insist if you are calling our way. I have the perfect pub in mind for a lazy, musical Sunday afternoon. x
Wonderful hub, bluestar....happiness to you, always!
tumblintumblweed thank you so much for you kind comment. Novelty reviews did me such a good turn reviewing my hubs on hub pages. The truth was a little hard to take initially, but it has certainly given me some food for thought. x
Wow, good for you! I'm with you all the way! Loved the photos especially the lamb! So cute and your poem is an inspiration for others to hand in there!
.....well this is one of the most beautiful pieces of writing I've come across at Hubpages - and it has all to do with someone as special and talented as you!!!!
Hi Foss, thank you kind lady for your lovely comment. You are always there with encouragement and I am so pleased to see you again. x
Epi - kiss, kiss, kiss, my lovely man. Thank you so much, like Foss you are always so kind with your comments, just a charmer. But you can charm me everyday. x
I loved this and I soooo needed it! brain burnout this weekend (especially if you read my latest hub). Think I will stick to silly poetry and blogs about things that annoy me. Great job with this as always:) hugs to you!
Hi dallaswriter, thank you for your lovely comment, I am so pleased my little poem brightened your day. I get burnouts too, they pass. Take a break, go for a walk and take time out. x
Good advice... stepped away from publishing research today and just took in the day. Great day with my family and a wonderful day for laying in the hammock and just breathing. Didn't even write today other than to check in on my precious friends here at HP. Love to you...
What a joyous feeling - thank you for sharing something so intimate and full of love - may you always have the Irish blessing on your head -
dallaswriter, I am so glad you took some time for yourself. As much as we love writing, it can and does get you down when the old grey matter stops at times. Hope you are feeling better today, try cammomile tea before going to bed that helps me sleep better. Much love x
Hi Margaret, I am so pleased you enjoyed my poem. I am not the best poet in hub pages but I am really enjoying learning to let myself go. Thank you for stopping by with such a lovely comment
Another beautiful poem written again by you. Just lovely. Submit your works... BuzzBuzz the pesky fly!!!
