While Your Feet Still Touch The Ground

You help me stand back up,
When I feel as if I'm falling down,
You know how to gravitate me,
When I feel like I can't touch the ground

I can't express how my heart feels;
How lucky I know I am,
To have such lovely friends and family,
Because the world used to feel like a bedlam

But everything I've been through,
Has helped shape me this way,
That there's nothing I'd ever change,
Because I'm happy with who I am today

Your perspective will determine the world you live in,
You can let others build you up or tear you down,
But if I've learned anything so far-
It's that it's up to only you how you live your life
while your feet still touch the ground

I absolutely love your poetry writing, as well as your message here. You've put it so well, showing instead of telling, about life, about your lessons in life. I very much agree with your message that we can soar to the stars while keeping our feet on the ground. Excellent thought-provoking imagery with the title.

First of all the title is very catchy and attractive
And the poem is amazing
Nicely penned... :)

I very honest and endearing poem. Would possibly benefit from some well considered imagery to 'meat out' the content but I have to give you generous applause for the integrity and truth you have located here. It has a confessional air and you can see the human behind the words.

I really enjoyed reading this, it has such a powerful message but it's not in your face (if that makes any sense) and it's also short and sweet and to the point. The third paragraph is something I think everyone should understand and never apologize for going through what they've gone through and being who they are today. I'm glad you put that in there because I don't think it would have been as good without it.

It's that it's up to only you how you live your life
while your feet still touch the ground....

Lots of hidden moral in those beautiful lines. Great wrote!
