A poem

I stumbled on this while I was going through some old .doc files. It's a poem I wrote after my Grandmother passed away this winter. Turns out some of the saddest days of our lives can also me the most beautiful.



It snowed today in Brooklyn, a family pays their due

A friend for life lies peacefully, our hearts are cut in two

With sadness in our hearts, we let her pass away

And wonder to our self, why she couldn’t stay

We wipe our tears with laughter, from the days gone by

Of memories and stories, of her and you and I

And though our hearts are heavy, though tears will sting our eyes

We whisper now “I love you”, and say our last good byes

The winter morns her passing, and sends one final gift

And while the world is freezing, a snow’s begun to drift

Beauty despite sadness, in our memory will be

And despite our morning, remember a beautiful scene

It snowed today in Brooklyn, and it will be a while

So until I see you, I love you grandma...

Life: it's good

ever have one of those moments when everything just clicked? Even if you were in the middle of crazy stress and things you sit down and realize how wonderful life is and just want to be lazy and enjoy it for a while. I feel like that.

I've got a crazy two weeks ahead of me, and have had some crazy days last week, and just events in general lately have been starting to take a toll on me, but right now I feel amazing. Even though I know I've been kinda stressed I feel great, relaxed (if a bit tired) and just ready for whatever comes next.

It's one of God's small gifts, the little moments that we get to sit back, relax, and realize how amazing life really is.

"I see trees of green, red roses too,
I see them bloom for me and you,
and I think to myself, what a wonderful world,
I see skies of blue, clouds of white,
bright blessed days, dark sacred nights,
and I think to myself, what a wonderful world."

I do believe this is part of what God had in mind when he said "life more abundantly"
