Haiku Ambition

Haiku Ambition

A Poem by Nancy Lee Shrader

Butterfly

Ambition

Ambition in life

Set goals and find solutions

Be all I can be

My dreams in this life

Began with good grades in school

Often came up short

 

Next I chose a mate

Must be kind hearted and true

Far surpassed my goal

 

Live my faith in God

Always go to God in prayer

Down on bended knee

 

Walk the narrow road

Instill faith in my children

Hear their bedside prayers

Be a good mother

And raise three happy children

Counting my blessings

 

I did my job well

With two sons and one daughter

Heart bursting with pride

Enjoy golden years

My grandchildren, count them three

Grandmother’s delight

 

Clear my clouded mind

An author in the process

Have pride in my work

Tell others of God

A good and faithful servant

Fill my crown with jewels

 

Live a godly life

Be reconciled in glory

Join the angle’s choir

Sing praises to God

With all my loved ones and friends

Have eternal life

 

My purpose fulfilled

I feel Jesus in my heart

Hand and hand we’ll walk

Very nicely done autobiographical haiku string. What is more positive than expressiveness that comes from self.
