(for those who need hope)

Have you ever looked in a mirror and said "**** I'm hot!"
Then turn and think "Who am I kidding I'm not."
It's funny how in one mind there is a conflict in thought.
Then you think "I can be anything if I give my all and just seek."
Not long another voice begins to speak.
It tells you to stop day dreaming and just sit.
But you think "If they can I can too."
It roars with laughter saying "what can you possibly do."
"Those people are of great heart and strong will."
Then you begin to doubt and think that is the way to feel.
In the depths a voice above silence speaks.
"Don't listen to doubt, don't fall for his evil tricks."
"Don't let his words weigh you down like heavy bricks."
"Stand up, forge on!"
"Heal, move on!"
"You can do it!"
"You just have to believe it!"
With that hope creeps in.
But at that moment doubt begins speaking.
Now do you ignore or give in.
The choice is yours, remember it's your life you are living!

(for those that don't realize they have them)

There are things we want but can never have.
I'm not talking about expensive beach houses or luxury cars.
I'm talking about things like time, opportunities or people.
Things that come to most but are never equal.
One may end up in Hollywood the other on a show that's local.
Another may reach eighty another may not leave long enough for a photo.
We all get our portion big or small.
But some don't live long enough to enjoy them all.
Time our best gift and asset.
Whether spent wisely or not cannot be reset.
From the very first breath.
it's start's ticking down to our death.
Sadly nobody knows how long they have on earth.
We just live until we draw our last breath.
Opportunity is next in line
Whether made or given it's something we cannot decline.
Some are good some are bad.
Some leave you crying others glad .
Thus it's crucial to check the opportunity at hand.
People the last on the list.
You'd think it's easy to have them but truly it isn't.
Like time those ahead cannot rewind.
Neither can we reclaim those lost to the ground.
Like opportunity they, are either good or bad.
But their nature plays a role that's grand.
These things come and go.
So it's your choice to make the best of them all.

(for those who seek forever!)

Is forever a place, a time or a stage?
It's not certain, all that is known is that it is like a page.
Not any ordinary book page,
it's that one perfect page every story has.
Filled with joy, peace and love.
It's the point you never want to let go.
It's the point we wish and hope would never go
It's the time you have no sorrow or pain,
a time you have no demons to tame,
when everything is made simple and plain.
No move you make is wrong.
No threat that stands stays long.
You are invincible and strong.
You wish to slow the time down and
take in the moment in which you can't drown
You soar so high in the skies.
You have no sorrow or cries.
A time when the deepest truth is sweeter than any lies.
When there is just love and joy in your eyes.
