Face The Day

Face The Day                 by Sami Khalil

 

And yet, I dare to say, do face the day

The jumble of events, the slow, long hour

Starkly absent when courage fails its way

For some cogitate through, others cower.

 

Each day has gifts and glowing promises

Consider the chains binding one’s freedom

What can rant and railing do, mama says

Love and pain are bedfellows in thralldom.

 

Its safe to say, all have walked the lone road

Where fears treaded the thrill of the journey

Those who went before us carried their load

Pull yourself up by your bootstraps, amply.

 

It helps to have a quiet reflection

For life’s a mélange of muscles’ flexion.

We should never waste an hour, let alone a day. Each is unique and once gone, can never return save in memory.

Spot on sentiments Sami and the form is excellent.

Beccy.

I agree with the below lines Sami.
"Each day has gifts and glowing promises
Consider the chains binding one’s freedom

Your mama was right and thank you for sharing the outstanding poetry.

Walk the road and kick a few rocks. It gets better. Don't get sucked in the negative. Nice work Sami. I like it.

[Sami Khalil]

I agree wholeheartedly. I like your take on this poem. Thinking and acting positive can go long ways. Much appreciated my friend.

Sami, there's rarely a time or poem where and when you bar others to read your thoughts and emotions but as observers rather than critics or analylists. You kindly mention how Life is, not merely to and for you, but what could be implied this world's residents, their lives, their hurt and pleasure, their differing experiences creating varying ways of being. At the finish, your more than fine post adds a summation of a remedy, a way to be and feel WHOLE. Inspiring.

[Sami Khalil]

OMG! Your reviews are so poetic and rightfully worthy. You have summed it up marvelously. Sincere thank you and best wishes in being yourself and becoming.

The challenges we face on each day rising, a survival on modern living. We do what we have to do. Another fine write from the master Sami, a black belt in sonnets. I thee bow.

[Sami Khalil]

You are so kind. I crown thee too. You have summed up life and survival marvelously. So true and well said. Challenges can be daunting or can be fun.
Thank you Emperor Mitchell for all.
Humbly yours!

We all face each day differently; some of us are grumpy, others energetic and ready to run; and each day is different so we must be ready to face whatever comes our way; not easily, but we must try....we have to endure as others before us....
Best, B

[Sami Khalil]
