Beyond all Relationships

Relationship is supposed to bring happiness but is it actually like that. Many at times, we are the enemy of our own selves. Often times we let things we can control have control over us. For example… You know quite alright that staying angry doesn’t change a thing but still you stay angry whereby things get out of hand. You have control but choose to be controlled.

Life, as wonderful and beautiful is… It is also short. Remember, one time you were 10 years old, now you know your age, before you know what’s happening, you will clock 65 and above. You and I don’t have the luxury of wasting a bit out of life. This is more reason why I have to share this poem with you.

… Life is designed for us to enjoy every moment with everyone around us.

… This poem is beyond all relationships

When I’m dead
Your tears will flow
But I won’t know
Cry with me now instead!

You will send flowers
But I won’t see
Send them now instead

You’ll say words of praise
But I won’t hear
Praise me now instead

You’ll forget my faults
But I won’t know
Forget them now, instead!

You’ll miss me then
But I won’t feel
Miss me now, instead!

You’ll wish
You could have spent more time with me
Spend it now instead!

You’ll wish
You could have spent all your money on me or with me
Spend now instead!

When you hear I’m gone, you’ll find your way to my house to pay condolence but we haven’t even spoken in years
Please look for me now!

Spend time with every person around you, and help them with whatever you have to make them happy!! your wife, husband or children, families, friends or acquaintance

Make them feel Special. Because you never know when time will take them away from you forever’

Love all and Forgive all.

This poem explain more on what we should be doing in life. Yes I agree… Sometimes people can be annoying, they can act in an unreasonable way towards you, maybe neglect you or do one thing to hurt you… I understand all that, it might not be so easy to forgive and forget but believe me, doing all that, carrying all that at heart will rob you of the very essence of life which is to be truly happy.

… Nothing brings more happiness than to live in peace with everyone.

You gain more by letting go than holding on. Like it is said… The past cannot be altered. It is gone. Now it makes no sense in using the past to destroy the present time and future.

We don’t have eternity here on earth and our life is not infinite here, so why waste it on grudges, anger, sadness, selfishness, and other stuff that makes no sense. Go, live a better life, enjoy your relationship with everyone in your life.

Life is short.

Thanks for your time. I’m glad to share my time with you.

  2. I am not a ‘feeler’ but that poem was great and really allowed me to think about the emotions that would be felt when we loose someone. How to value and take charge of the moments we have now with those around us. Thank you.

      2. Thanks so much my friend. I believe whatever we have is not solely for ourselves alone, it’s also to share as a blessing to others.

        Glad to connect with you Abdul. You also are a lovely and great person.

  24. Personally, people are confused about what ‘true happiness’ means.
    You don’t have to depend on sunshine to provide happiness in your life.
    You don’t have to depend on someone’s love. You can be happy on the cloudy days too!
    It’s not something outside yourself which is this way or that way that gives you a happy feeling.
    It is a joy deep inside you that will always be there and never fade from you.

    1. Oh yeah… You are absolutely right my friend. I agree that happiness should be or flow from the inside and nothing should dictate our happiness but us.

      But at the same time if a man is not in peace with the world around him or with something or someone around him, such man might loose happiness. Which is why I advice to leave in peace with everyone.

      Thanks so much for your time and words. I’m glad.

      Do enjoy the rest of the day

    1. 😀☺😊 As hard as it might sound, your words have a lot of sense. But I love the forgive them part. When you forgive, you have peace, and at that time you will know you don’t have any thing against anyone.

      Thanks for your time and words. Do enjoy the rest of the day.

    2. There is also the letting go with love part. There are some relationships that no matter what you do they are just too toxic to hold on to. If I am going to be harmed by someone else’s toxicity, I let them go. I expect the same from others if they find me toxic to their existence.

      3. Yup! Sometimes it hurts more to continue the relationship. I did that in my previous marriage. We stayed married 8 years longer than we probably should have. You can forgive, you can love, you let go. I’ve had to let a friend go before because she was just so toxic for me I would get sick being around her. It was very painful but I had to protect myself. I don’t think it’s healthy to hold on to toxic relationships/people.

      4. Yes my friend… I agree with you. It’s not ideal to keep toxic people or relationship. Once we forgive, clear our own hearts, we can move on. Wise words from you.

        Do have a great day.

      7. Hmm… You have a good point. But above all, everyone should try to stay in peace with one another. It’s more about you than the other person. Forgive all wrongs, live in love and be happy.

        Thanks for your time and words. I’m glad to hear your thoughts.

  33. Great post as alaways …. ⭐️😊👍🙏Many times l personally carried over a cross of anger from one relationship or another and that interferes with feelings of your one true love …that thanks to God has been granted to me by his love and as you say nothing comes easy …. but as Buddhists say if you look back and can see a problem not resolved on the previous step of your life … you must return and put it right before moving on … and this is so true in my life and relationships. Be well …
