Love And Perpetual Optimism A Poem
|
Love And Perpetual Optimism A Poem I wrote this poem two years ago and never posted it for some reason. Now your homework is to find the original<b> author </font></b>of the quote in my poem.  I almost said the heck with love! I was almost at the point Of giving up! But then I happened upon His words. And my sense of purpose Was restored! He said that "perpetual optimism Is a force magnifier." Indeed when I thought of it It could be true It worked if you worked it Much like a twelve step program. Not that I had to do that many steps I just had to change my mindset. So while I have been down on love, Like a half empty glass or bowl I just had to rearrange the thought And see It was also half full! No need to always be negative. In fact it hurts your very being. It has been shown to affect Your brain chemistry. So enough of that doom and gloom Reverse that way of thinking! Being positive is not just an RH factor Although it can be seen as Life saving and necessary. Being positive gets your motor running And is like the fuel for action. Love feeds upon itself, It is a greedy little non devil. It nourishes a spirit Like nothing else. It is said love is all we need. But that is being too simple. We all need to eat and breathe. But love makes even those activities, Seem much less mundane. I will find love! Or it will find me! I will remain positive That what I offer to the world Will be appreciated By someone, somehow, some way! Optimism will be a key! It will open the door So to speak. It will gain me entry To the love I seek! Independently Romantic Sounds Better Than Lonely |

I love this. I truly believe that your thoughts influence how things go in your life...if you expect bad, bad things happen. But, for me...with relationships...this is so tough. (The quote...Gen Colin Powell) "Sometimes the most productive thing you can do is relax." – Mark Black

One of the people I admired back in the day, regardless of outcome and politics shenanigans... ----------------------------------------------------- "...if you believe that you are weak, then weak you'll surely be..." ( your homework my lady !)  Cheers - P

"perpetual optimism Is a force magnifier." That sounds like something Winston Churchill would have said?

I thought it might have been a military figure, using words like force multiplier. I didn't know it was Colin Powell that said that though. Thank you for teaching me something new today! It's very fitting that you picked this poem to pull out of the archive , as just this morning I ran into someone I used to contract with, and he said he would fail to make it by himself, and he found himself there this morning because he said he would fail previously.  -KC

Not important my lady It's from a song as old as our sins "Tashauna" : "...Now I believe that every man can choose his destiny If you believe that you are weak, then weak you'll surely be Oh, but if you live for love and truth, and live for peace of mind Just hold fast to your dreams friend, that's just what you'll find..." Cheers my lady P
