Live not in anquish

Be patient with life, despite its cruelty.
Often it seems careless of our pain,
But just as often brings us hope again.

Remember, I wanted happiness for you.
Under every foolish word this still was true.
Be happy, then, without, as you would with me.
In your life many sweet events remain.
Not in anguish, but in joy remember me.

''be happy, then, without, as you would with me'' beautiful

Why, oh why are you using this element? Your acrostic format is spoiling what could be fine poetry .. sorry, but i find it very distracting.. how sad.

[lothlorienwriter]

Both poems are book published I do not find that sad.

Simple, honest, true. Sometimes we do no need complexity or obscurity of meaning, this poem has a clarity and pointedness that really hit home with me, thank you :D

Oh my goodness, this one made tears fill my eyes. Such poetic advice, just beautifully done. Absolutely a favorite for me. These words spoke to me, right to my heart.

i like this and your flow or rithum of words plays for the eye of the reader

[JourneyBlu]

Nice flow with an uplifting message. Especially like the line "Under every foolish word this still was true", the phrasing is wonderful. Thanks for sharing!

Are the first letters supposed to spell 'B O B R U B I N"? Being a larger typeface enhances the acrostic effect.

Damn, I wish I was Robert Rubin, because then I would know for sure.

Great wisdom in your words. We need a lot of patience to keep our sanity and hope alive. I like the advice given in the poem. Complete poem was a pleasure to be read. I like the strong ending to the amazing poetry.
