A Full Heart

At the Taj we'll propose, on Swiss slopes we'll ski,

In Machu Picchu we'll find our glee.

The nights of toil we'll ne'er forget,

To be worthy of each tear and sweat.

That man whose iftar filled our hungry plea,

We'll hold in memory eternally.

His kindness shone like a beacon's ray,

Lighting our path along the way.

Who walked with honor by our side,

We'll embrace with reverence and pride.

A steadfast friend through thick and thin,

Whose strength we drew new hope within.

Though life may quicken past our pace,

Time with friends we'll warmly embrace.

Laughter and joy we'll always treasure,

Moments together we'll fondly measure.

Not spoiled success but lessons learned,

From mistakes that wisdom earned.

Falls and stumbles shaped our track,

Taught us patience looking back.

With balance and care we'll leave our mark,

To kindle hope's enduring spark.

Days filled with purpose, nights with rest,

A life lived fully, we'll be blessed.

A full heart is one who has persevered, has toiled to become what he/she aspires to be…is thankful for spiritual help and feels blessed everyday to be able to enjoy life to the fullest….which you have nicely portrayed in this poem….thank you for sharing!

I think the lessons we learn from life's winding path hold great value. So far, my mistakes and failures have taught me so much, shaping my journey with hard but worthwhile lessons that now grant me patience and relief from past troubles. Even long nights of effort prove meaningful when motivated toward some greater purpose. Fond memories still linger, thank you for engaging with my poem.
