Graham, how I just love this poem and seeing you express this appreciation for your life and how much you want this for others is awe consuming. You describe it perfectly in the poem and the video of how it should or hopefully needs to happen. This brought me to joyful tears as I read the poem and watched the video because I realize and see just how far I’ve come since joining the Time Has Community late January 2022. My life has forever changed for the better. It wasn’t overnight, but it was well worth it. And you know what, I’m still growing in my faith and all I want or feel guided to do now is to pay it forward so others can feel the same joy and gratefulness I have for life that I hid behind prior to this year. We individually have a choice to make and no one else can do it for us. Praise God, I’ve never regretted a moment in stepping out and made that choice. Thank you Graham for this beautiful poem and encouraging me to step out in faith and have the courage to let go! Bless this dear community whom has also inspired and encouraged me. May your days be filled with laughter and love! God bless everyone today! 🙏🙂❤️
I shared this also over on the Time Has Come Network.
Thank you Ness! This past year has literally been incredible. I unlocked the door and stepped out of my comfort zone and I had no idea how God would end up blessing me! God is the provider but He worked and used Graham, DonnyMac, and this entire community to encourage and inspire me along the way. I’m so glad I did it, and it is definitely worth it. God bless you!
We do all have different choices and different paths and You know all we have to do is believe in ourselves don't ever doubt yourself I quote” I can' do that..... I will never make it so I give up” or “ I'm not worth it” well only you are the monster of your choices and to that is : like Graham says : “ to step into the unknown” you have to at least find the key and open down that door and see for yourself what's through that door and God knows what’s behind that door but If you will open this door you will see a light not any kind of light you will see that God is showing you your future, the path you must take and of course don't doubt the God’s work so yeah God is there with you and me and us and everyone, He is a guide and shows you the right way the right path to finally make it to the end of the tunnel I must say you know what I mean. I know that is difficult especially when you been through so much in your life and finally think that maybe there's something out there awaiting for me and How is that even possible?.... well God is the solution now close your eyes and tell me what do you see: you will probably say well I see nothing except a black background uh okay try looking harder again and tell me what do you see : I can see myself smiling just simple as it is and my brown eyes are clearer actually they are lol with a little touch of green in the light of day my brown eyes are very very clear and I think I have never felt more alive thanks to God. If I never entered the THC Family or community I couldn't have been really amazed to listen to one of your stories or able to actually be able to take the leap and also to listen that also an actor such as Graham wardle also lived the impossible of being able to be where he is so yes Graham is an inspiration to me and to all of us if I must say.
Wow, beautifully said! I’ve literally felt and had all those feelings of doubt but we all have that greatness in us because God created each of us for a purpose. That is what I want to help others achieve but through the eyes of God! God bless you!
I'm trying to gain confidence & in some ways I have. I was able to accomplish one dream, though not as I wished, but I am proud that I was able to find a temporary solution to help me through & to stay on track.
But this year has tested me & I feel like I'm on a roller-coaster of goods days and bad. With events that have happened, accidents & health issues, I haven't been able to live the life I tried so hard to establish.
It's extremely draining when you finally get out of a slump & get on the right path, only to have events etc., that are out of your control, push you back down, where you are unable to do what you could before.
It took so long to find my path. I hope & pray that my health issues can be resolved so that I can get on that path again. I have been told to be patient, but it is difficult at times.
Thank you Graham 🙏💖for this poem and for your video. I love the poem & your comments. It reminds me to have faith and to continue to try my best.
I am trying to reward myself for the little things I can achieve. Something that has been difficult to do in the past. I need to do this now more than ever to give me the incentive to do what I can. 🙏
Yay Christine! You can do it. I've found that taking one day at a time and doing all the good on that day you can, no matter how small is helpful.
I've been on a journey towards better health since I was 14 years old and I'm now 61!!! At 16 I was diagnosed with Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis. I believe you can do it too. There are things weve not been taught about living healthier. Graham gets into a lot of the knowledge that is helpful. Youve found the right place to be on this journey towards better health, IMHO. Having faith, continually being in prayer, developing even greater faith and knowledge has been my game plan. And I've found that I've actually achieved more than I ever thought possible. It's been a very interesting journey. I'm still on it and hopefully I will keep gaining knowledge and health until I pass on.
I admire your courage. I encourage you to keep chipping away and doing what you can do. Then have faith that the rest will come.
Let’s not allow the worry or the promise of tomorrow ruin our today. Life is teaching us many things right now . I believe one of the most important ones is to cherish , nurture and appreciate what you are and what you have, every step of the way. Happiness lies in being grateful for what is, instead of waiting for what will be. Thank you for this poem Graham !Cheers
Happy to see the beautiful beach background again. So peaceful!!!
Graham, WOW that was just a mind blowing poem today. Your voice ,your words and calmness put my mind at ease. One's comments on this poem, I think, depends where we are in life. You are still so young. When I reflect on my life,I feel like I have reached some degree of greatness. I have much to be proud of and thankful for in my life.God has blessed me!!! Have raised 3 beautiful, educated,productive daughters. I am a grandma, but I want to live to become a GG!!!❤️❤️ At this point I feel like my priority is to eat well and drink all that water LOL ,and continue to be active so I can stay healthy and achieve more greatness in my life.Since I retired after working almost 50 years, you Graham, and this community of great friends has become a fun welcoming place to be. SO GRATEFUL!!🙏🙏❤️❤️🎄🎄🎁🎄
Graham, have been reflecting on this wonderful poem since first reading it early this morning. The two lines that struck me the most were finding true peace in aligned priorities and finding guidance in faith and surrender. As I thought about these two lines and my life, I realized it was when I had trusted my faith to guide me to align my priorities a peace came into my life. I’m at the point in my life where I feel my greatness has been raising my family and my career as a teacher, both of which are a beautiful blessing. I’m very appreciative of everything I’ve had in my life, am moving into a new area of discovering more about myself and finding a new path to explore. Your August writing challenge, has inspired me to write, which was something I never believed I would do, let alone share with anyone. I have made some adjustments in priorities to include opening the door to more writing and sharing it with others here in this community and with my family and friends. So thank you for the writing challenge that helped me to discover this about myself. As always blessings to you as you continue on your journey in life!
Hi Graham, this poem was wonderful. I have so many feelings hearing these words today. Mostly happy feelings. It is so good to see you so happy. It warms my heart. Thank you for giving me a great beginning to my day. Many blessings to you❤️
Who empty you and deprive you here are 2 sentences that guide me.
it's my daily life, but there are days that are not very easy. but when you get there what satisfaction. I admit to thanking my creators every day who have given me a flawless balance with an iron health, and who have taught me to be relatively positive despite the negative waves that surround me. today I woke up under 30 cm of snow it was magic. have a good day
Thanks for today's poem. You have no idea how much he touched me!!!
I had been coming for years, trying to emerge from the deep well that I found myself, caused by insecurity, inferiority, and a infinite fear... For lack of self-love, and even, for hating everything I did. In 2020, at the beginning of the covid pandemic, I met you... And I started to follow everything you did and said...
I fell in love!!! At first, I didn't understand almost anything, but I wanted to understand. So I started to study your language, that's when I started to come out of that dark pit, and every day I wanted more, without worrying about the fear... I evolved a lot, and I have to say...
I was saved... Instead from of fear I felt before, now I'm sure, that I can do everything...
With you and this Time Has Come community, I've traced a new path. Where there will be no uncertainties and regrets, maybe I'll make mistakes, but I will be trying to get it right... thank you for the strength you give us, I will always be with you, and wherever I can, I will take you, for everyone's knowledge...
Over the years whenever I let a lack of self-worth creep into my psyche, I try to think about Ethel Waters who originated the quote, “I am somebody cause God don't make no junk!” And I listen to her wonderful rendition of “His Eye Is On The Sparrow” that reminds me to trust in the Lord, not myself. Finally, I re-realize every time how disrespectful it is to the Lord to question the value of His creation. Learning to appreciate... Have a Great day, Everyone!
Thank you Graham for another thoughtful poem. As I read this poem I feel that I am at the end of this journey. I have a life in which I have continually stepped out of my comfort zone since I began my journey at age 19 along with my husband of 51 years. From living in foreign countries and many states to retiring from a job I never imagined I could achieve, to, most importantly, creating a loving family filled with children and grandchildren, I am very fortunate, blessed and have lived a wonderful, adventuresome life. I am content and at peace with my life. But as I read the poem once again I wonder is there more. Am I really at the end? I have found happiness but can I reach higher? Is there more to the purpose of my life? Maybe, maybe not. Your poems always bring me to the point of reflection. At the end of the day I can feel worthy, worthy of the life I have been given, but at the same time open to new opportunities to give back and new blessings that await me. Thank you for your inspiration.
Thank you Graham for today's great poem. I'm not a new subscriber and I usually dont write unless I'm channeling or feeling inspired. So I'm just going to say Great Job! There's a bunch of us that love what you do and I want to encourage you to keep going.
Wow, Graham! To me, this is one of your best poems ever! It is so packed with awesome truth. The fact that it came so quickly to you from "out of nowhere" (however, we all probably know it didn't come from nowhere) makes it even more special. I just wish I was aware of the nuggets of truth in this poem when I was younger as I would have had peace sooner in my life. Through my faith journey, I have discovered and learned the truths you reveal in this poem. I can relate to every line of this poem, but I will only address the lines about "True peace is found in aligns priorities, True guidance in surrender and faith." I became a follower of Jesus when I was 15, but it wasn't until much later in life that I truly surrendered to His will and direction in my life. My life hasn't always been easy, but I can honestly say that I have experienced and continue to experience true peace. As this world ,and my country America, continue to descend into depravity, where evil is good and good is evil, where nothing seems to make sense and common sense has vanished, I still experience that peace. The Bible talks about "the peace of God that transcends all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. (Phillipians 4:7). It is real!
I could easily write about all of the other lines in your poem, but then I would have a novel here. Thanks so much for sharing all of these truth nuggets and I am praying that your target audience receives the wisdom that you have laid out before us.
Graham, I truly loved your poem! I felt like you were talking directly to me! I say that because of the way my life has been. Actually no different than anyone else I had a happy childhood. Had 5 brothers and 4 sisters 10 children in the family. Grewup , married to a wonderful man happy for 69 years, raised 2 boys to become good people in the community. Had 4 grandchildren and now have 8 Great Grands. God was always present in my life. I knew he was there for me and my loved ones but when you Graham became known to me I see God in a different way. You taught me how to listen to my heart and be patient and that blessings will come more than I ever knew they could. Im 91 and as the saying goes ( you are young at any age if you are planning for tomorrow) and I'm planning. I'm very pleased and appreciative to have your community of friends and your love and desire to know our Creator as you do. Im sort of out of my league as far as writing poetry goes. But I'm thinking about it and thats a start. Keep up the Wonderful work you are doing. Can't wait for next chat and next Tuesday. Blessings to you Graham!
Thank you Graham for another thought provoking poem with its accompanying Video. You always leave me with plenty to think about.
I have quite a few to catch up on as I have been very busy for a few months. I have a bit of a break for a while so I look forward to catching up and getting my long awaited ‘Graham fix’. Thank you for just being you.
One of the things I do appreciate from your writings is that when I really take the time to reflect and deep dive within, I learn new things about myself. Breaking down the lines of what you wrote today, journaling and thinking about my own journey, I resonated with what you shared and also found an area of opportunity for myself to grow and try to be an even better person, but I’d like to keep that for myself.
At the end of each day I always appreciate that there is so much to learn and ways to grow. Although I may never arrive, I can always find new and creative ways to become a better version of myself than I was at the end of every day as long as I keep myself open and willing to new opportunities, stepping out of my comfort zone and knowing that I will never know everything, but keeping an open mind to love learning and expanding from others and from the world itself.
Congrats to the winners of the zoom, I am so happy for you guys! Graham is always such a lovely human to chat while he shares his beautiful energy, positivity and love of life! Have the best chats! :)
A huge thank you for this weeks poem. Even more than the poem itself, is you talking about it. This made me cry as this is exactly where I am in my life.
I have been searching and making changes. Earlier this year (because of your writing challenge) I finally faced & let go of a guilt that burdened me almost my entire life. I thought that was it, now I would feel deserving of all the good & love in my life - of which I am very grateful for. However, I continue to feel as though there has to be more meaning or purpose or peace. I do not even know exactly what it is, just something more or different and hoping I feel I am worthy of it.
You do definitely seem very happy and peaceful with such excitement for your life. To hear you say you did not always feel this way is very encouraging. I so appreciate your honesty. You took the scary steps, made the necessary changes, did the work and you found true peace. You deserve it and I am very happy for you. Thank you again for your poem and encouraging words. I will continue on my journey. Trying to be brave to make the right shifts, as small as they may be, and I will eventually get there.
Graham, how I just love this poem and seeing you express this appreciation for your life and how much you want this for others is awe consuming.

Anne, you always express yourself so genuinely and beautifully! This poem is so beautiful and well meaning! We all need to soak it up into our soul
Thanks Karen! It all comes from God! He gets all the credit! We are all truly blessed!
Waow God bless you Anne now you made me cry what You said was so touching.
