My Battle Cry

Fix the broken
Speak the unspoken
Just breathe
Instead of choking
Make time for the present
Don't get lost in the past
You don't have to be first
It won't hurt to be last
Don't sleep at the wheel
Or travel too fast
And don't waste your future
On the shadows you cast.

Dear Brandon
We can never achieve all the things we would like to….so let’s live in the”Now”…and forget about tomorrow….slow down….enjoy your surroundings, especially, those of nature….dont dwell on the future because we cannot predict it…..
Breathe, breathe….. see the light
Lovely!
Warmly, B

Wise words Brandon. Live in the present. Far too many dwell in the past. There is courage in your words. A battle cry indeed. Enjoyed my visit.

This reads like a lantern held up to the moment... steady, honest, reminding us to breathe and walk unburdened. Your lines carry a quiet courage that lingers.

Thank you as always :)

Heavy stuff here, and well rhymed. Too many sacrifice the present by lingering in the past.

Thanks for stopping by again John!
