My Gift To Life

My Gift To Life

A Poem by The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)

 

Each stroke

Of midnight

Is the first day

Of the rest of my life.

For it is not over

Until the end

Is written

In black and white.

So I sit and wait

To hear the sun rise,

While watching it

Through

The kaleidoscope’s eyes. 

For that is the greatest treasure

I can give

While my heart tries.

A new day starts when the clock strikes midnight. It is the first day of the rest of your life. When you have had a really bad day, that is worth remembering. Tomorrow might be better. Thank you Dale.

dear Dale.. reminds me of the 🎶 Song, “Morning has broken like the first Bird” by Cat Stevens…. softly, Pat

I like the upbeat tone in this one. So many fear the stroke of midnight. Forgetting it is the start of a new day.

Thank you kindly sir
'My gift of life'
Rock and roll cowboy,
Your life is a gift and to be wonder is surly an apt response. I see it throughout your poem. Your heart-soul is truly meant to be held with love and patience by the only one who will ever truly know who you are. Jesus God's Son already has made a way. It is finished. This the greatest gift is available to all upon request. Our pain and sin washed away by The sacrifice on a cruel roman cross. I hope you find true love like this which every thing streams from and to.
Bless you in your life and writing.

This is thought provoking piece!
Each stroke of midnight is the first day of the rest of my life! That line for some reason has a peaceful feel to it!

I liked this a lot!
So I sit and wait
To hear the sunrise,
While watching it
Through
The Kaleidoscope's eyes.
