Blooms Are Coming

It's that time
to come to life again...

I feel so happy
like I did back then...

The weather is warm
as the sun shines bright...

The days will last
into the warm night..

Spring and summer
is life for me...

I am content
and so happy!

Let go

and let God -
isn't that what they say...

I wanna

understand -

how to believe that way...

He gave

us a brain -
expecting us to use it...

Not just

a free pass -

and then to abuse it...

So many

just don't care -
taking the easy way...

I see

what's clear to me -

while pushing them away.

My Valentine

It's snowing in Texas
big flakes coming down -
a perfect day for romance
and laying around...

I'm baking some cupcakes
and making good food -
flowers, candy and candles
are setting the mood...

Loving and cuddling 
this cold day away -
Watching funny movies
staying warm where we lay...

Enjoying the beauty
with a white window view -
fur babies close by
sharing my love with you!

Grapes

I don't feel
loved by you -
I feel hated
through and through...

Boundaries
don't abound -
Someday soon
I won't be around...

I just don't know
why I do -
I regret the moment
that I met you.

Rope

Get that shovel
to dig that hole -
once again
hide like a mole...

It is time
to start brand new -
I don't know really
what to do...

Hands tied tight
stuck together -
Insecurities
that aren't sure ever...

Hide away
like you always do -
and avoid them all
it's nothing new.

Empty

Have you ever felt
two inches tall -
like you don't even
matter at all...

Where people can't 
treat you right -
where the world is dark
without any light...

You'd run away if 
you had somewhere to go -
but there is no point
and you feel so low...

So all you do is
exist through the day -
wondering how
it ended up this way.

Prioritize

Let it all go
roll off your back -
Turn it all off
fade to black...

Don't hold on to
past irritations -
enjoy your life
take some vacations...

Dismiss the people
who bring you down -
get rid of who and what
should not be around...

Ghost when needed
hold close what is true -
follow your own path
do what's good for you.

Lost

I have those regrets
that haven't left just yet...

I wish I had not followed
advice that was hollowed...

Now it's only me
left alone to see...

How stupid I have been
and wish that I had then...

Turned and left the scene
but that's a worn out dream.

Your Jacket

It takes me back
to a place in time -
when we were young
and you were mine...

We were so innocent
fresh and new -
with the world ahead
so much to do...

You were funny
so very kind -
we talked on the phone
all of the time...

Date nights out
on those Saturday nights -
young kids in love
with silly fights...

Those were the days
no one can take away -
I think fondly of you
to this very day.

Amen

Dear Lord
I thank you -
even though
it is so true...

I don't deserve
but have gratitude -
for every blessing 
that is from you...

For smiles
and for health -

for my family 
that is my wealth...

For the days
that you have given -
and allowed us
to keep on living...

I don't take
anything for granted -

deep in my heart

you are planted...

I've given you

my heart and soul -

I thank you

and love you so!

You and Me Against the World

I would drive -
I would wish upon a star...

I would dream
just us alone in my car...

The melodies
would flow through the air...

Me lost in thoughts
while getting us there...

Independent
single and free...

It was my youth
it was you and me...

Influences and lyrics
so many now gone...

But those dreams 
and our memories live on.

Truces

We're not promised
anything -
Nor can predict
what life will bring...

Every day
is a new start -
So give your all
and share your heart...

Try to be
a beacon of light -
for those who've lost
the will to fight...

Always hold out
a helping hand -
for those who need
an honest friend.

Who?

The sun still rose
flowers still bloom -
I can look forward to
Christmas lights soon...

The people that need
to be gone are gone -
I found my strength
and moved totally on...

Never ever again
will I even allow -
a stranger in my life
to my here and now...

I won't even speak
or address them again -
a lying piece of shit
disguised as a friend.

86'd

And just like that
she was healed -
anything remaining
was killed...

She held her head
up and high -
disregarding who
she should walk by...

No longer could
they control her day -
no longer did she
want them to stay...

Her journey is
quite nice and bright -
she sleeps at ease
every single night.

Blocks

Sometimes you have 
to let go of what's gone...

Sometimes you just
have to move on...

It might sting
or it just may bite...

But you have to give it
all your might...

You can't keep near
what is gone...

You just have to
move the hell on.

Shelf Space

 All I can ever
do is try -
even as the years
fly bye...

I give what I can
with each new day -
while I'm here
to live and say...

Try with all
your mighty might -
do what lets you
sleep well at night...

Speak the truth
and work each day -
to only bring
good things your way.

Open Windows

Keep your head down -
while you look around...

like the FBI -
an investigative spy...

keep it deep within -
don't let it out again...

years from now you'll sigh -
as this will have blown by.

Deleted

You just have
to let it go -
deep inside
you already know...

So do your plan
quite quietly -
you're in charge
of your destiny...

Maybe you did
and maybe not -
here and now
is all you've got...

Just keep on
keeping on -
until the memories
are gone.

Strike

You don't watch 
for the ball -
before it's pitched...

but when it comes
your way -
you hit as best you can...

It doesn't mean
a home run -
could end up in the dug out...

You could also
never even -
participate in the game.

Silence

Wrapped in a blanket
snow on the windows -
safe and secure...

The past is behind
like smoke from the fire -
making images blur...

Disappearing into the air
as though they were never there...
dancing ahead  -

While the hearth is warm
as the snow drips down -
and covers what is dead.

Shovels

From the inside
to the out -
it is time
without a doubt...

Step away
from any ding -
disappear
from anything...

Incognito
taped up shut -
no more eyes
filled with smut...

It will be silent
for quite a while -
as time buries
this messed up pile.

Mirrored Glass

Yes you
know what to do -
it's time to do
what you need to...

You know how
to draw those blinds -
and leave it all
far behind...

You can't keep
reliving the days -
while floating through
the dust and haze...

You have done it
many times before -
cut those lines
and lock the door.

Good Riddance

I won't hide
or live in more fear -
Just like everyone else
I belong here...

I have my challenges
I have my gifts -
No longer will I
give a shit...

Say what you want
do what you will -
I really don't care
how anyone feels...

When it comes to
my life and my choices -
no longer do I have
to hear their voices...

Or even ever
see their faces -
It's amazing what
time erases.

Selfies

There's a love
within my arms -
that I welcome
with all charms...

I have many
that I love -
I have the life
that I dreamed of...

Those ladies
who had the tea -
who knew someday
that would be me...

Yet, I'm content 
and so happy -
to share my life
with who loves me!

Court Yards

I'm happy here
as I watch the rain -
through my office
window pane...

Each day I'm here
with a great view -
I've found peace from
what I went through...

I have privacy
away from the crazy  -
I don't have to work
for the lazy...

No one is pulling me
in all directions -
No haughty eyes
without self reflections...

I was drowning
and found a life raft -
I am happily content
just where I'm at.

Early Mornings

I can only do
the best that I can do...

While I beg and pray to God
that my dreams come true...

We all have scars
insecurities and regrets...

We just have to understand
we haven't got there yet...

Because when we realize
how we shine so bright...

We leave behind the doubt
that keeps us up at night.

Cages

I really love when
I have no place to be...

When my daily schedule
is up to me...

When I can work out
or take a little nap...

When I can shop or
have lunch where I'm at...

I excel with freedom
outside of those men...

I will never go back
to life back then.

Goals

When motivation strikes
live off the explosion -
as you watch bad habits
fall into erosion...

You got this
as no one else can -
living your best life
again and again...

Don't be afraid
to challenge yourself -
be your own coach
and you own self help...

Then sit back
proud of what you did -
from putting in that effort
each day that you live.

Rescued

If someone walks
out of your life -
let them go on and go...

Sometimes
there are people -
You don't need to know...

Once some time
has passed -
you will feel relieved...

There are
too many liars -
who choose only to deceive...

Notice how you feel
when there is nothing -
left to say...

Rejoice when them
with their negativity -
have finally gone away.

Rocky Foundations

Why didn't I go
with my instincts back then -
because I've relived it
again and again...

I found out things
I never should have known -
while doing my best
all on my own...

So many times
I wanted to flee -
I always have to wonder
why me...

Now here it is
completely a lie -
an empty feeling
that can never die.

Stages

Sometimes when
the seasons blow through -

I sit alone
and think of you...

I miss those days
when you were there...

Even though you're gone
I still care...

and hope you're happy
where you are now...

Maybe some day
we'll meet again somehow.

Cross Roads

You know
what to do -
when the pathway
goes through...

You hide
and stay away -
from that hate
that's there to stay...

You run
and don't look back -
then there won't
be an attack...

you'll be
so far away -
it will be a
memory anyway.

Sun Shine

Let the
tranquility -
relax
inside of me...

Focus on
all the growth -
rising above
and being woke...

Know the
end of this -
is golden streets
of utter bliss.

Boundaries

This is exactly
where I want to be -
away from the loud
and all of the crazy...

Safe to myself
all tucked away -
this is exactly
what I used to pray...

Now I am delivered
from those I dislike -
they are all behind me
and out of my life...

I am renewed
and glad for the end -
I will never let them
into my life again.

Cards

I see your face
and it makes me smirk -
you are nothing
but a stupid jerk...

I can't wait
until you implode -
enjoy it now
before it explodes...

I've already seen
what's coming to you -
I will laugh so hard
when it comes true.

Sticks and Stones

Dear Lord I pray -
on my knees today...

that you heal this land -
from evil's demand...

as we watch our rights get stripped away.

I ask of you -
to let your light shine through...

So people will see -
what we were meant to be...

Peaceful and loving to each other every day.

Blind Sided

What you put in
is what you'll get out -
It won't be overlooked
without a doubt...

If you did good
or if you did bad -
You will be happy
or you will be sad...

You can't erase
what is now there -
Ignore all you want
and don't even care...

Karma has a way
of coming through -
so sit back and watch
what's coming to you.

Flutters

Baby bird
spread your wings and fly -
Way on beyond here
and up into the sky...

I want to keep you
but I believe it's right -
To let you get your wings
and fly away into the night...

I adore you
and I am amazed -
how I see something helpless
and can not be unfazed...

So I'll help you
in any way I can -
Then cheer for your freedom
right from where I stand.

The Rock

Don't second wonder
Don't envy wrong
Don't regret right...

Emotions are a fight...

Do what is good
Do what you should
Do what you would...

In his holy sight.

Because you are.

Drops from Heaven

My yard
My flowers
My garden...

Soak up
the spring rain -

So thankful that it came -

To absorb
To cleanse
To refresh...

Blooming life
budding through -

as it grows and blossoms anew.

Fairy Tales

I'm safe
I'm guarded
I'm done...

All the people
that I knew
weren't the one...

To hold
some might
some authority -

Because now
they have
no power over me...

I never
have to see
anyone again...

That I don't like
or care for -
the end.

Blurred

It's ok
to let go -
of what you know
needs to go...

As it pours
down on me -
although it's blurry
I can see...

Through all the
smoke and glass -
I watched it come
and watched it pass.

I Got This

It's been hard
and a struggle -
but I have
my dogs to snuggle...

I'm now planning
my next vacation -
where I'll finally
have relaxation...

A month away
I will be fine -
I got back the job
that was mine...

The only opinion
I'll value again -
is from myself
because then, I win!

Easy Like Sunday Morning

The sound of
the rocks crunching
beneath my shoes...

The sound of
the boats coming
into view...

The morning
sunrise beneath
towering trees...

The birds
flying above
the waters breeze...

It is where
I'm happy
and I want to be...

Why can't
that be the life
meant for me?

Nope

I gotta fly
like a mother fuckin
monkey...

I gotta run
like a bitch
from a pimp...

I gotta go
like nobody ever
saw me...

I gotta live
like I ain't no
fuckin wimp...

I gotta roll
with the punches
that I've taken...

I gotta laugh
when they think
that I care...

I gotta smile
when they fall
on their own face...

I gotta admit
that this bitch
just don't care.

Sink or Swim

I'm just going
to turn it off today -
So I can enjoy
my home and pray...

That all of this
will be over soon -
and our normal life
can resume...

So the world
can go out a play -
or have a patio lunch
on a sunny day...

That travel begins
with new sites to see -
today I will hope
we will soon be free.

666

It's scary
overwhelming -
who to trust
who to believe...

When it is
completely obvious -
how many times
they do deceive...

One world
with one hope?
or the book
of Revelations?

You would be
a blind sheep -
if you had
no hesitations...

Seeing it all
slowly unfold -
just like
I've heard for years...

You must get
the microchip -
to buy and sell
and it is clear...

The beast
will rule us all -
death and destruction
tears and fear...

but through Christ
our sacrificed savior -
our redemption
is very near.

Hindsight

If I had
a time machine -
It would never
mean a thing...

I would undo
and change the course -
to never feel
the sad remorse...

because I'd go
the other way -
and avoid
that fateful day.

Stuck

Why would I?
seeing with my own eye...

It's like being
kicked all over again...

Knowing inside
this will never end...

Why put up
with  a sickening ride...

When you know
you have no place to hide.

Joshua 1:9

Well, yep
there I went -
but the days
were definitely spent...

Seeing new
with a different view -
It was a good experience
but onto the new...

Who knows if
we'll still be here -
or even alive
in another year.

Blossoms

The trees are coming
back to life -
just like my son...

I'm amazed at the
Lord above -
and all that he's done...

He gives life
to each of us -
Yet, takes it away...

We will all stand
before him -
on judgement day...

I just wonder
the purpose -
why are we here...

but I will trust
in his will -
as I keep him near.

Potholes

Have you ever
been so tired
you couldn't sleep...

Have you ever
been so sad
you couldn't weep...

Have you ever
held a hand
you'll never see again...

But at the time
you didn't know
it was the end...

It takes the sails
and the wind
beneath your wings...

Wondering why
life has to bring
what it brings...

While you try
to get by
before you die...

Only to be
standing alone
and wonder why.

Day by Day

All you can do
is your very best -
life gives trials
and life gives tests...

How you handle
what's thrown at you -
is doing what's right
and seeing it through...

There will be ups
there will be downs -
just encourage the smiles
and not the frowns.

Prayers

Dear Lord
I ask for strength
for my son...

For I know
that you are
the only one...

To pull on
the strings
of life and death...

I just ask
Dear Lord
you're not ready yet...

If love
could save
he would live forever...

My love
for him
will never sever...

I would lay
down my life
and give him mine...

I can only pray
you heal his heart
and let him shine.

Amen

God gave him breath
another day -
He seems to listen
when I beg and pray...

Thank you my Lord
for saving my son -
once again
you were the one...

That gives life
as I plead for more -
I give you the glory
that is for sure.

Hood Girl

Every so often
I miss your class -
and totally regret
being an ass...

I wish I could
take it all back -
I miss your laugh
and hood girl tact...

You motivated
so much in me -
I followed you
quite faithfully...

No one else
can fill that void -
my fitness guru
is destroyed.

New Windows

Here I sit in a
different place -
surrounded by
each new face...

I have to wonder
if it was right -
as I lay down
to sleep each night...

I suppose I think
way to hard -
I already played
and dealt the card...

Even with
a tear in my eye -
I made the choice
that I can't deny...

So I must learn
to make do -
of this new life
I've committed to.

Moved On

It's like a puzzle
I'm putting together -
but I won't glue it
because nothing's forever...

I've learned so much
along this path -
I've felt the love
and I've felt the wrath...

That's when I know
to shut that door -
because me being used
won't work anymore.

Next

Ya know what
no worries anymore -
they can take it
or walk out the door...

Me or them
it doesn't matter anymore -
I'm on this planet too
and they aren't what I'm here for...

They can say whatever
and I could too -
but I can assure
I have better things to do.

Thank You for Having Me

Well...

There I go
there I go again -
I hope I like it
and another end...

I was happy
but heard the call-
was it a step up
or a tumbling fall...

Will this bring
new opportunity -
or will I regret
leaving my happy...

I guess in time
I will look back -
It's time to wake up
and pick up the slack...

I'll set new goals
and follow through -
for real a new year,
with a new me to do.

I Love You

The wind blew through -
how I thought of you...

and the way you're on speed dial...

We're older now -
we got through somehow...

but you've been with me all the while...

My love for you -
will be forever true...

for you make me always smile...

Let me be your friend -
to the bitter end...

and it will all be worth our while.

2020

One day you
wake up healed -
of all the negativity
and what killed...

Your spirit
and your pride -
When you were
dead inside...

You finally realize
it is gone -
that you actually
have moved on...

With a happy pep
in your step -
all that sadness
has finally left...

You to be what
you need to be -
on the right path
and so happy!

Another Chapter

Well hell
I did it again -
I surely hope
this is a win win...

Walking into
a brand new year -
with hope in my eyes
and a new career...

I will look back
and read this through -
praying this was
the right thing to do.

Forgive

The power of forgiveness -
to look beyond oneself...

To know that -

We all fail -
We all fall -
We all let someone down...

Especially ourselves.

It's alright at any time -
to turn it around.

When someone asks forgiveness of me -
I will give it freely...

because I can only hope to be -

forgiven.

Gates

I used to
but I so don't now -
I have to make it
happen somehow...

The glass is
half empty indeed -
I'm pouring it out
to be freed...

Of what I don't
want anymore -
there's my keys
and there's the door.

Apathy

Little crystal ball -
I can't see it at all...

All that I know -
is that I felt it go...

It turned quite numb -
how could I be so dumb...

I wish I saw ahead -
all that is now dead.

Pavement

Go away
you nice dressed man -
I am happy
where I am...

Although it seemed
it might be fun -
Something made me
turn and run...

Why would I
get chained again -
When I have come
so far from then...

Why should I
start all a new -
when I thought
those times were through.

Chilled

If only I could care
for all the love I share...

On the loud banging chime
and complete waste of time...

I didn't even find
what I wanted to be mine...

Yet, there I was -
wasting time just because...

I just keep calm and cool
when dealing with a fool.

The Clock

Oh I do
wish for you -
all your karma
that is due...

As you live
so it shall be -
from that fate
you are not free...

So look up
when it lands -
because it is
on demand...

And you know
that you owe -
all of that
which you sow.

Pros & Cons

Decisions
decisions -
I need direction
and wisdom...

What comes next
I don't know -
should I stay
or should I go...

to a new adventure
that awaits me -
would I be
just as happy...

as I am with
my space and time -
another new choice
that is all mine.

The Floor

Invisible
not really seen -
when she was
they were mean...

Which prompted her
to run away -
her only hope
was to pray...

Believing
that somehow -
things would be
better now...

But she saw
they never were -
as they just wanted
to criticize her.

Dusk Till Dawn

I'm not sure
why I try -
as I watch
the days go bye...

Knowing where
I want to be -
wondering if
it will be me...

That can go
where I want to -
and leave this in
my rear view.

Foggy Lights

You have
already learned -
how to know
how to discern...

all the angry
and the mean -
there is nothing that
they can bring...

To your life
to make it good -
so do what
you know you should...

Just like all
the times before -
build your walls
and lock your door.

Shovels

She dug a hole
to hide away -
she couldn't face
the same new day...

She didn't have
a word to say -
so she found a place
where she will stay.

Mist

Release it all
as you go with the flow -

The more you live
the more you know -

What needs to come
and what needs to go...

Hold your feelings near
and your thoughts so...

You only water
what needs to grow.

Courtyard Shadows

It's quiet as the sun
shines in -
staring out the window
once again...

Only I can change
what I need to do -
only I can make
my goals come true...

So once again I vow
to be a better me -
forgiving myself
and let it all just be.

Drop Kick

I won't anymore
I've done all that before...

Now I will decide
to open up the door...

As I see the exit
and follow it through...

I won't anymore
there is no me and you.

JW

I had a great time
with the top down -
just me and my husband
riding around...

In my brand new toy
that he bought me -
my black BMW convertible
so I can ride free...

I wouldn't trade him
for anything or anyone -
he lets me be me
and likes to have fun...

More vacations coming
and we'll work hard too -
to my sweet wonderful husband
I so love you!!!

Ice Cold

Regrets stab
like twisted metal
in the back...

Running away
from the thoughts
when they attack...

Learning wisdom
through the lies
and truth they lack...

Realizing 
they were only ever
talking smack.

Pathways

I wonder how
it would have been -

if I did things differently...

Said no instead of yes,
Said yes instead of no -

left when I wanted to go...

If I never wasted time
on people or places -

that were a poor decision...

Would I be near water?
Would I be near mountains?

Would I be what I dreamed?

I guess there's never
any way to know

how things might have been.

Dimes and Pennies

At the time I thought
I was broken -
Chewed up, spit out,
a used token...

Then I glued myself
back together -
Utilizing my strengths
I've had forever...

It's my life and my right
to be happy -
I don't care what anyone
might think of me...

I know I'm kicking ass
and doing well -
and so glad I'm no longer
in their hell.

Just Fly

I'm thankful
it is all behind me -
the cocoon is broken
I was set free...

Now things are
how they should be -
and I couldn't be
any more happy!

Smile

So what if they don't
so what if they do -
their opinion
doesn't define you...

Yeah, some are gone
and some are still here -
you know who matters
as you keep them near...

I'm embracing change
as it flows on bye -
no time to worry
and no time to cry...

because everything
is at it should be -
with a promising future
and living happy!

The Cross

You dodged a bullet
in more ways than one -
be glad that situation
is over and gone...

Never let the chatter
make you stray away -
you know the truth
and will stand there one day...

So do exactly what
you know should be done -
realizing the battle
has already been won.

Growth

You can't go back
and change it -
there is nothing left
to give or get...

Let them think
or let them say -
whatever they want
they will anyway...

So dust off your
walking shoes -
with no more sadness
and no more blues...

You've already left
that life behind -
so move forward
self assured and kind.

Ruby's

I've learned not everyone
should be invited in -
be courteous and wise
with whomever you befriend...

Some people just use
whatever that they can -
it's up to you to discern
so do the best you can...

To surround yourself
with only those who care -
and carefully consider
the things you choose to share.

Rosemont

The shy little girl admired
all the beautiful homes
two-story with columns in front...

Willow trees hung
over green lawns with
an air of spookiness and protection...

Winding roads and
wrap around front porches
were quite large to someone so small...

While visiting and retracing
the same scene and the same land
she found herself again...

She had been lost in a world
that chewed her up and spit her out
leaving her with nothing but doubt...

Yet, deep inside fully energized
she remembered the beautiful days
where she was born and for a time raised...

She didn't want to leave
grieving what she had to leave behind
but lived the life she was led to...

I wonder how it would have been
if she was never forced to go back then
and the road turned right instead of left.

Unplug

If they don't
then why should you -
just deal with what
you know is true...

Invisible
and way moved on -
let it all be
dead and gone...

When things change
shut all the doors -
you didn't even care
about that anymore...

Go to where
you're safe and free -
in the space
you're meant to be.

Bad Roots

When you care for your lawn
you weed out the bad weeds -
that's just what you do
when you deal with bad seeds...

You never water or nurture
or help to grow -
any bad weeds
that you know need to go...

So in everyday life
the same thing holds true -
weed out any bad seeds
that aren't good for you.

Turn The Page

It's not a part
of my life anymore
and never will be again...

I have accepted
what needed to go
and am happy with the end...

Sometimes trials
and tribulations
make you question yourself...

When that happens
focus on the positive
and be your own self help.

Gardens of Life

She looked at the bug
so very small -
Ready to squish it
to nothing at all...

As she looked closer
at its unique design -
She noticed the details
so perfect and fine...

It minded its business
causing no trouble at all -
with its God given talents
to fly and to crawl...

Then she thought back
to the people who -
treated her as disposable
and squished her too...

Why would she do
the same thing to it -
just living innocently
what would that profit...

It made no sense
for this bug to die -
So she appreciated its beauty
as she walked on by.

Reflections

I look in the
mirror and say -
everything is going
to be a-ok...

So some doors shut
along the way -
but you turned around
and quickly walked away...

Rescued from
what needed to go -
had you not seen it
you would never know...

How much better off
you would be -
when you left behind
all that negativity...

Go onward
to follow your star -
because you know inside
you're going to go far.

Scattered Dirt

Walk right bye
with your head held high -
No time to worry
and no time to cry...

It doesn't really matter
what they think of you -
Leave them all behind
and start again anew...

There are so many dreams
still left to live -
Ignore all that is negative
move on and forgive...

Always remember
the bad times you came from -
and never return
to what is buried and done.

Umbrella

I have a right
just like all the rest -
to live my life
and try my best...

to make my dreams
come true and alive -
to find experiences
that make me thrive...

and to walk away
from what holds me down -
heading towards where
my happiness is found.

Kick Back

Nobody messes with me
when he's around -
When there is trouble
he is always found...

He stands by my side
like no one else could -
and despite our faults
I know that we're good...

I will never trade this
for some stupid faze -
because he is a real man
and I love him for days!

Full Deck

It wasn't
in the cards -
mine were already dealt...

It doesn't matter
the reasons -
or even how I felt...

The truth
has a way of speaking -
louder than a lie...

When you see
the storms are brewing -
you let them blow on bye...

When it's passed
you move on -
and go about your day...

For you have
already learned -
to never believe in what they say.

Prayers

As I look around
it's easy to see -
everything is
the way it should be...

Trust and believe
what He takes away -
will lead you to
a much better day...

So bow your head
and trust what's above -
will leave you sheltered
with strength and with love.

Courtyard Quiet Time

Sitting in front
of the window pane -
it's sunny in the courtyard
no sign of rain...

It's quiet as I
realize to myself -
this is exactly what I wanted
I just needed help...

With some direction
to find what I dreamed -
looking back it's so much better
than it seemed...

When I was treated bad
and then torn into -
I'm thankful the old is out
and I moved onto the new.

Head Up

When you fall
and hit the floor -
get back up
and try some more...

When everything seems
a waste of time -
take deep breaths
and believe you're fine...

When disappointment
brings you down -
make a smile
out of your frown...

When life makes you
want to run away -
know you got this
and face the day.

Trash Cans

You
completely
disgust me...

Nothing
but a liar
anyone can see...

I hope
when you look
in the mirror...

That what's
looking back
is clearer...

A nasty
disgusting
piece of trash...

But you've
always been
nasty like that.
