I Just Want To Leave Things Be
A philosophical thought24 total reviews
Comment from Iza Deleanu
Your poem capture my attention from the beginning, such a humble declaration and an advice of being grateful for what we have "
I don't want to change the place or time; I'm content right where I am.
I've no desire to change my life; don't need no more pizzazz or glam.
Just being rather average that's more than enough for me
I almost stealing a Beatles title, I Just Want To Leave Things Be."

Hi that very wise. If you are happy where you are the best thing is to stay where you leave them to lie. Like all thing, things around us take roots and to uproot and grow them elsewhere , there no saying whether they will catch up again. Let sleeping dog lie the say, I would.

Comment from njcoleman
Bob,
Great job. I can definitely relate. Both as a Beatles fan and as a 68 year old who no longer needs to change things. I have a poem that has a similar feeling. Mine has the line "there's nothing that needs to happen, there's nothing that needs to stop..."
Even tho we know, in reality, there's plenty that needs to both happen and stop happening.
I, like you, have my family and that's all I need. Wouldn't change a thing.
Great work!

Where can I find your poem? Is it in your portfolio. I'd love to read it. I have a few years on you, but I like your choice in music. Have a great day, NJ.

Hey Bob, mine is an unfinished start of a poem. But what the hell, I'll put it up there. Not nearly as good or graceful as yours.

Would love to read it.
Comment from Harry Craft
A powerful poem on a philosophical thought. I think there are a lot of us these days that feel that same way. We are content with what we have and just want peace and quiet. Great poem. Keep up the excellent work!

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
I can identify with your words here in your epic poem Bob, I feel the same, I don't want for a thing and all I ever crave is peace. I keep my head down and hope that chaos never ensues and rains on my parade, but of course life is never smooth. I sometimes feel I have been through many lifetimes as the stages of life have sometimes scarred my heart and also stroked me with love, I enjoyed your post, love Dolly x x x

Your reply has near perfectly described my life also. I've been so fortunate in so many ways. Had some tough times too but managed to get through them and usually come out stronger and hopefully better. Thank you Dolly.

That is a wonderful read, and your last line of your stanzas is great, it really ties everything together, it is good to be content with who we are and how we have lived, very well written****kahpot

As you've no doubt sensed, I would have loved to have called this Let It Be, but someone else had claimed that title.

Comment from nancyjam
Good for you. If you have lived a full life with both good and bad and survived it all then be happy with who you are and where you are. You can't change the past so just accept it. Great poem with strong meter and
good rhyme.

I'd also change nothing; I've been so lucky in life. Good wife, great family and 76 years of doing as I'm told.

You did really good with this I like how the words flow good together. Maybe putting a picture with it would benefit it but otherwise good job, keep up the good work.

Thank you Tinkervic for such an encouraging reply. I'll ask my grandson to show me how to post a picture next time he visits.

I am because of the things I have done.
I am because of the things I haven't done
ow would tings been different if I had chosen to do the second and not the first?
I'll played the cards as dealt, if dealt them over, fer sure.

Bob,
This is a great poem about not changing a thing. It's great that you have lived a life that you are happy with and wouldn't have it any other way.
