What was the greatest risk you took in 2011?

| Injured Robin - April 2011 |
Risk
We put our hearts out there.
Our hearts were already broken,
Mending but broken.
We offered ourselves to do something wonderful.
It was a scary thing.
It would take strong hearts to do this.
We helped each other to work through the challenge.
It was a beautiful chance,
And we wanted it so much.
Our hearts were fluttering,
With excitement and fear.
This would be such a gift for us and for others.
We were badly hurt when our beautiful chance was taken away.
Hearts broken again,
We lay still.
In a little while,
We stood up and
Limping a little,
Walked on.
I love your poem. It really captures the ability to get up and keep going after heartbreak. Hugs.xx
ReplyDeleteYes.
ReplyDeleteYou walked on.
Thank you.
How lovely and inspiring... I hope that your hearts will soon be mended again but I am glad you had someone to share the challenge... having someone to stand up on your own two feet again helps to calm the soul and soothe it.
ReplyDeleteAnd that's the way it's done. No matter how tough things have been and no matter how badly your hopes have been dashed you can't make any progress until you pick yourself up and take that first step on a new journey.
ReplyDeleteI might be a little early - but I wish you a happier and successful 2012.
Thank you for the kind comments. x
