These are Poems that help us to look after our heart because it is our Well-Spring of Life. It is true that we need to practice forgiveness yes – we also need to be care that Friends are not heaping undue pressure on us. That isn’t fair. So here are a few Poems to help make your life a little easier and keep your spirit sweet.
Blessed Boundaries
When engaged in conversation
that attempts to weigh you down
remind them of the scriptures
before they make you frown.
We should order our conversation
to see the Salvation of The Lord
It should be pleasing to the hearers
a blessing we could afford.
So if you want to talk to me
then you’d be truly wise
if you refrain from negativity
and reports of strife.
I’ll be careful not to lend my ears
to endless talk that leads to tears.
Because I value the Peace within me
it’s a precious gift from Jesus
He gives to keep us Free.

Time for Change
You’ve made my life unrestful
you really ought to know
with your discontents
your perception has been slow.
Each time you share your hardships
it casts shadows on my day.
Where are the days that we once had
that used to make me glad?
You’ve become so serious
why don’t you offload on God?
His shoulders are much bigger than mine
He has more energy and the time
to hear your needs but also make free.
Please choose Him next time instead of me
for I have challenges too
I was not meant to be in your shoes
I’d like to rest where skies are blue.
My heart used to be so free in God
while walking on this earthly sod.
I’m making a choice to return once more
would you like to join me
it’s like pleasant shores?
If not my friend, I must go my way
to find myself some better days.

Choose Wisely
Once I had some friendships
that went like sour grapes
They used to be so sweet they really were a treat.
Take care with whom you share your secrets
and aspirations in life
Make sure it is a proven friend who will not give you strife.
If life becomes too much for them
do not your confidence lend
for their moods can be unstable
even at your table.
Make them a casual acquaintance
and do not give them entrance
to the inner circle of your heart
be careful from the start
to see their true nature not just at their best
Make sure they are consistent so you have rest.
And if you can trust them you’re truly blessed
you’ve found a friend indeed.

It’s alright to have a listening ear if you listen
to your needs as well. ©
Our lives are made up with attitudes and relationships
it makes our load lighter if we take care what friends we
make or set effective boundaries.
