Mountains,
Oceans,
Rivers,
Trees,

The magnificence of nature
Makes me fall to my knees.

Such breathtaking beauty
Brings me to overwhelming tears,

As it captures my heart,
Embraces my soul,
And strips me
Of my anxiety and fears.

Valleys,
Hilltops,
Wildflowers,
Streams,

Serene, soulful nature
Vividly alive in my dreams.

People often ask me...

"How do you manage life
Having 5 daughters?"

My reply is always the same...

"I couldn't manage life
Without my 5 daughters!"

Shall I stop writing
Because you do not read?

Shall I stop trying to get through life
Because you think
I will not succeed?

Shall I stop planting my thoughts -
Each poem a precious seed,

Shall I stop being myself
Because you do not see beauty
In self-expression,
Or because you see a wildflower
As a ****?

What do you want from me?

You be you!
Let me be!

Our individuality
Is what makes us special.
Stay true to yourself!
Bittersweet

The higher we go
The harder we fall

Bittersweet

Leaves you feeling
Lower than low
Smaller than small

Bittersweet

Sweetness
With a bitter aftertaste

Bittersweet

Helplessly feeling our joy
Go to waste

Bittersweet

Pleasure tinged with sadness
And pain

Bittersweet

Efforts to achieve happiness
All in vain

Bittersweet

Life's cruel little game

Bittersweet

Always a crying shame

If I tell you
That I love you
You can rest assured
That I mean what I say,

If I tell you
That I care about you,
Know, that for you,
I would well and truly
Go out of my way.

For, if I have placed you
Inside my heart,
And you now own
A space inside my mind,

It simply means
That I appreciate you,
I find your uniqueness
To be a blessing -
I believe that you are rare,
One of a kind!

If I tell you
That you are a true friend
To me,

You can rest assured
That I value
Your designed placement
Inside my reality,

Because friendship
Means so much more to me
Than just words,
It means that my soul
Recognises your soul
As a second home,

Meaning that
My soul admires
Your beautiful personality;
And, from it,
My heart
Will never want to roam!

Because, to me,
You are like sunshine,
You are an umbrella
In the rain,

You are as dependable
As each morning sunrise,
You understand
That imperfections and flaws
Make us all unique;
Hence, around you,
I never feel any shame.

So, if I tell you
That I love you
You can rest assured
That I mean what I say,

I wouldn't change
Anything about you,
I wouldn't have our friendship
Any other way!

An innocent pure-white heart
does not see manipulation coming
from a distance,

It does not imagine such hurtful things
in its gentle empathetic existence.

It does not see the dark evil monsters
behind their masks--in disguise,

It does not recognise the difference
between genuine truth and shifty ***** lies.

People enter your life
For a reason,
A season,
Or a lifetime!

A quote I wrote
many, many years ago!
