For You All My Friends

The pen to write poetry 

has been my friend lately,

At the age of 63 years,

Thoughts came to mind,

During lockdown due to Corona.

Came a feeling giving hope 

that I can climb the

Mountain 

And

That I can swim in the deepest ocean,

I can open my heart,

focussing on the present.

I love my friends,

You all deserve to be loved,

I could learn from all my friends,

That I will not let the negative 

Thoughts in my mind,

That the past has passed,

I'm only living in this moment,

I have gathered confidence from you all

That I'll rise just like the sun,

Though I know that

I'm not made of steel, stone,

Yes, I'm made of heart and blood, 

Sweat, flesh and bone,

I have soul,

And,

I can learn 

How to forget the past,

How to become new.

I know the secret of life,

That when I am born,

And death is the end,

Of course, I do not know,

When life will end.
