The Wind's Not Always At Our Backs

[Meant To be]

The Wind's Not Always At Our Backs


The wind's not always at our back
the sky is not always blue
Sometimes we crave the things we lack
and don't know what to do

Sometimes life's an uphill ride
with mountains we must climb
At times the river's deep and wide
and crossing takes some time

No one said that life is easy
there are no guarantees
So trust the Lord continually
on calm or stormy seas

The challenges we face today
prepares us for tomorrow
For faith takes our fears away
and peace replaces sorrow

The Flower That Smiles Today

　

The flower that smile today

Tomorrow dies;

All that we wish to stay

Tempts and then flies;

What is this world's delight,

Brief even as bright.--

　

Virtue, how frail it is!--

Friendship, how rare!--

Love, how it sells poor bliss

For proud despair!

But these though soon they fall,

Survive their joy, and all

Which ours we call.--

　

Whilst skies are blue and bright,

Whilst flowers are gay,

Whilst eyes that change ere night

Make glad the day;

Whilst yet the calm hours creep,

Dream thou--and from thy sleep

Then wake to weep.


Percy Shelley


speaking about life, this is another poem I dedicate to you dear members of the saudi english

Meant To Be, after reading your poem especially the last stanza, I went like, O Allah I plead with Thee, grant me patience

thank you for taking the time

[TheSweetDesert]

Favor if you don't mind: please whenever your eyes fall on a thought-provoking piece, kindly post it and I will be glad to read it

I have to thank you for such dedication, I really enjoyed reading it..

Honest speaking, I found it more like, Oh am reading it, or just dreaming, I do like your selected poetry, I can call it stilted, not to mention your own writings

The Sweet Desert, Oh ...( I missed this nick so much ) be always around and share us what you got

So trust the Lord continually

Can we just forget our fears and trust our God???

Why do we worry and fear when we know that everything would happen to us is just destined for us




I admit that I have some fears which makes me sometimes know no peace , though they’re silly fears :(

I wish I can get rid of them


Thanks so much, dear brother, for your magnificent choice
