Priceless!

It important sometimes to reflect on the things pertaining to life.  We seems to not have a problem thinking about the things we spend our money on, but it's quite another to meditate and appreciate the things and people that are free but nevertheless priceless.  What would happen if in one breath those thing or people were taken from us?  Would our lives be quite different?  Would we mind?

I believe we would all be hurting terribly.  There is no price on anything that is free in this world.  We should all be thankful for the air we breath since we were first on the earth.  Those things we desperately need in order to survive like water which is included in all our meals.  What would we do without it?

What about relationship?  You reap what you sow, really.  There is no substitute for love, if you give love you will receive love.  It's the law of investment.  You get out what you put in.

Sometimes though I understand that some relationship are unhealthy but that can also be avoided.  There's freedom in choice. Sometimes the only thing left to do is to get out.

As much as we like to complain about the weather, it's free.  We can choose to even enjoy the rain or any weather that gets thrown at us.  It doesn't matter.

I encourage you all to consider your life this weekend.  What are some things you could appreciate a lot more and communicate it.  Be a fun person to be around as much as you want others to be fun to be around.

I will again talk with you tomorrow. Let me know if you need anything. I appreciate all of you for reading me.  It means a lot!

Priceless

By Bernard Demaere

 

I have concluded…

That the most important things in life,

Are free!

Not milk or bread,

Nor cars or beds,

 

But who can…

Buy a smile?

Friendships are free

And yet…costly.

 

You can’t buy the wind

Or the sunshine,

You can’t buy the rain

Nor pay for pain,

You can’t buy growth…

 

You can’t buy time

It is like happiness…

It must be given away,

You can’t buy truth

But you’re going to pay for a lie,

 

You can’t buy freedom

It is a gift to be found,

Can you sell…your own self?

How much are you worth?

I bet…

…more than all the treasures

That the whole world could behold!

 

 


I was born in Belgium ����.I am retired and living with my wife of 36years, Cathy. We are the proud parents of two adult married children. One of each, Zoe and Steve. Now we have grandchildren as well. I love writing, I don’t write some poetry. I have quite a collection of poems.

The Power of Fathers

Fathers are valuable beings in children's formation not just the mothers. They set the right values in a home and the standards of moral.  They are much needed. I am glad I had a dad and when I look around I am glad my dad stack around all his life.  So many fathers have left the coop for whatever reason.  I can honestly say that it hurts my heart to see single mothers looking after their children without a father. My dad was dedicated to his family and we always had food on the table. He had to be very busy because of his business in body shop and that I miss, the interaction with him on the emotional level.  I think maybe my children missed that too.  I urge every father to be there for their children, not just physically but emotionally.  It will save them a lot of regrets and sorrow later. I wish all the fathers out there a wonderful day with their family whether you are in a country that celebrates Father's day or not.   Here is a poem that descri...

Imaginary Imagery

So many times I wonder how what I read in people's faces or even in my own thoughts is actually what really happens. Am I really mad for the right reason or is it all in my imagination. What about you?  Are you really seeing what you are supposed to see or you have to reconsider something? Maybe you missed something in the context of what they were saying. Do we understand everyone perfectly?  Do we communicate perfectly? Let's revaluate!  Give them another chance. Say no to that divorce or that fight. Is it worth it? Here is a poem about Imagination: Imagination Bernard Demaere   Image, Aviation, Imagination. The bird flew from the cage. Freedom took wings, To worlds of dreams. Making anything Into something. A bird can be caged, A cage, a bird, Have your heard? The bird, When he flew, From the cage, High above. Above your neck, That’s your head, He never came back, Till he found something, In the worlds of dreams, In ...
