Ropes

Thankful for
another day -

Where I will
believe and pray -

To the one who
blesses me -

Blessed life
and blessed be 

To the one
who sets me free -

From the ties
I let bind me.

Growth

When the memories
no longer sting -
when the thoughts
mean nothing...

It is a sign
you have moved on -
all that was hurt
is healed and gone...

You picked up
and packed it away -
when you thought
heartache would stay...

Now nothing inside
holds onto that time -
believe it or not
it all turned out fine... 

So always look forward
to what is meant to be -
and never focus on
past negativity.

Three Weeks

I can hear it
calling me -
within three weeks
I will be...

Where the water
meets the sand -
on my happy 
sun drenched land...

Flip flops, sundresses
windblown hair -
I can't wait 
until I am there...

Palm trees, flowers
drinks on a patio -
I hear it calling
and ready to go..

Breath in the breeze
and salty air -
within three weeks
I will be there!

Smile

Determination 
drifts through the air -
I awaken to
find it there...

Flowers blossom
all around -
as I listen to
the sound...

of life inching
into the new day -
feeling grateful I am
learning to say...

I'm choosing to 
believe in me -
and doing my best
to live happily.
