REMEMBER THE JOURNEY

Remember the journey.

Not its end point.

Not its goal.

But the struggle to achieve it.

Look ahead into the distance.

Remember what’s key.

Remember the journey.

For future adventures.

For future battles.

Remember the journey.

READ ME A TALE

by  eyeris

Read me a tale, grandfather,

of battles and dead bodies.

Turn the pages, grandfather,

of the book of horrors.

Tell me more stories, grandfather,

of evil armies and sadness.

I will close my eyes, grandfather,

and will the darkness away.

THE JOURNEY

Remember the journey.
Not its end point.
Not its goal.
But the struggle to achieve it.
Look ahead into the distance.
Remember what’s key.
Remember the journey.
For future adventures.
For future battles.
Learn to live by it.

NEVER GIVE UP

Never give up.
Keep your head up high,
little one.
Keep on fighting.
No matter how hard, or
how fruitless it may seem.
The road my be long and bumpy.
Full of pot holes and road blocks.
It is worth it.
It is always worth it.

ARE WE SAFE?

A castle on top of a mountain.
Protected on all sides
from possible intruders.
Is it protected?
Can anything or anyone
be truly safe in life?
From sadness,
illness,
death.
No, we can’t.
But we must
soldier on.
Put up our defenses.
Fight our battles.
And live on.
