A Lesson Learned: In how to NOT Give Up!, by Tyler Cedric Golden Subscribe to rss feed for Tyler Cedric Golden

As I exceed the limits of all my strength, the energy I once
had is drained,
Power I wish I could absorb so I wouldn’t have to feel all
of this pain,
Powerless and hopeless I feel with nothing left to keep me
going on this journey called life,
Now I won’t be able to make it home, not even once more,
to see my beautiful wife,
I know not whether this is the end of my journey,
I had life going good with a wife, kids, and a job as an
attorney,
If this is the end and destined as my fate,
I will not regret and I will not hate,
For I have tried so hard and have never given up,
But I still wish I could make it to see my little boy mature
and drive my truck,
So many things I wanted to do before the end,
One thing I did manage was to ask forgiveness for my sins,
But now climbing this mountain on my journey back home,
Maybe I shouldn’t of went this far, being alone,
Well not much of a choice left now,
The way I made it this far I don’t even know how,
As I grab a hold of the rock that just may lead to the top,
I’m getting tired and can’t keep my eyes open then I
hear a pop,
And the rock I grasped has broken and now I fall to my
destination,
Who knows what will happen, probably devastation,
I close my eyes and think about what has all happened in
this life of mine,
And I wonder the end come so soon, is this really my time?


I awake from a horrible dream,
I look around with nothing to be seen,
But that is because my eyes are still closed,
As I slowly open them some one pinches my nose,
Fully open I see my wife on top of me with a smile on her
face,
Now I have learned this destination is my place,
A lesson, confusing and yet still learned,
I could have went to the sky above or below and burned,
But it is with my love I am with now and forever,
Things like this in life only make us better.

Have you ever considered getting your poems published? in maybe a whole book of all of them? this could make alot of $$. but that's not what poetry is about is it. You are amazing though. I believe you could go so far with your writing. It's just so strong and inspirational
