with my skinned knees




I am who I am
The life YOU perfectly penned
With the skinned knees
Broken bones and ribs that I sustained
I know I shouldn’t blame
Look into the past
With bitterness and hurt
For the dreams that have escaped
YOU have grander rewards in mind
For order of events i cannot rearrange
YOU have better things aligned
For what I lost and cannot keep
Tests I failed and lessons I missed
YOU ARE PATIENT, YOUR LOVE IS SUFFICIENT

  1. I guess we all have our skinned knees in form of wounds in the past but it's not something we should dwell on but something we should learn from.

  3. So loved the poem. Reminds me of a movie, SERENDIPITY. YOU ARE PATIENT, YOUR LOVE IS SUFFICIENT. The long waiting is being granted with TRUE LOVE and DEEP AFFECTION. Even if it hurts so many times, deeper longing will grow no matter what happened from the past.

  5. I think, having skinned knees is sometimes normal. Experience is the best teacher and sometimes those learnings need us to get be hurt in order to be able to catch the message that life is telling us..

  14. Skinned knees and soon become scars. They could remind us of the pain but on the bright side could remind us of the lesson...

  16. having "skinned knees" is just a part of life... what matters is what we decide to do after that. we just need to accept that things happen, and we just need to move on. Yahweh bless.

  17. We have to stand up when we fall... We have to be stronger after any trial. We have to gain our self after loosing a battle and we always find hope in every waking morning.
