She used to be
A full moon,
But now she's only half,

She used to be a bubbly little explosion,
But now she can barely laugh.

She used to be a bright, sparkly,
Shiny little star,
Hanging in a pitch-black sky,

But now she's but a shooting star
Falling from way up high.

She used to be on-top of the world,
Until it came crashing down,

The ground beneath her steardy feet
Was stolen by an evil clown.

She used to be a carefreee,
Lively girl -
Loving endlessly,

Now she's but a hopeless fool
Crying and dying
On the inside -
Daily and nightly.

Nothing stays the same!
We can only pray
And try to stay strong.

God bless anyone who is hurting -
Anyone feeling alone!
I've been beaten down,
torn apart and ripped to shreds -
I have the war scars to prove it,

I've been knocked down,
broken to pieces and left out in the cold -
I've been trampled and defeated.

Somehow,
I've managed to stay alive -
It's nothing short of a miracle,

I've managed to turn my pain
into poetry--an art -
I've even managed to make it lyrical!

Poetry is my life!
Without it I would be completely lost
In a world I don't fit into.
Plant healthy, delicate seeds
of strength,
watch your children grow strong,
but gentle roots
that are impossible to break -
try to keep them
in the warmth of the sun.

Water these seeds
with love and tenderness,
tend to them attentively -
and the fruit
will be full of goodness,
hopefully, appreciated,
by everyone.

God bless our children
I once quoted (a few years back) ...
"It takes a very strong woman
to remain gentle!"

...believe me, I wasn't wrong!

This kind of special woman
must be equal parts of gentleness
and strength - this is what makes
a warrior of a woman emotionally strong!

She must be kind,
tender and sensitive -
and she must know her total value
and self-worth,

She must be brave,
courageous and self-disciplined -
but she must also be empathetic and kind towards herself--as well as with
everyone else on earth!

"It takes a very strong woman
to remain gentle!"

...this is my little secret,
for a woman to find self-happiness,

She mustn't let the world
turn her sour - in keeping with this,
she will never, ever lose
her loving tenderness,
her precious sweetness,
or her delicate, unique softness.

Always trying to self-inspire.
One can never be strong enough
In this cruel, unkind world!
How many more times
must I break,
before I can no longer
feel my heart's painful ache?

How many more times
must I fall,
before I can no longer
get up and stand tall
anymore at all?

How many more times
must I try,
before I can no longer
find any tears to cry?

How many more times
must I care,
before I can no longer
inhale any oxygenated air?

How many more times
must I die,
before I can no longer
find the will to try?

She had taken many a fall
in her life,

People and life had knocked her down -
in her back, had gone many
a sharp knife.

She was soft at heart,
naive and much too sensitive,
empathetic and kind,

She had an inner-strength
of the soulful kind,
and a very determined mind.

She grew up very fast;
depression and anxiety
stole a lot of her precious time,

When most people would have given up,
she kept getting up -  she never knew
when to draw the line.

She was an innocent girl,
usually misunderstood,

All she ever wanted
was acceptance, real loyalty,
and to be truly understood.

Other people's envy was always an issue,
her good nature was always the cause,

They couldn't be quite like her,
so they set out to destroy her -
they always instagated
such brutal, unfair wars.

But she still had a humble,
innocent, beautiful heart,
one that always felt the urge to give,

She only wanted to be genuinely loved
in return;
with peace, love and harmony
she wanted to live.

Hazel
smoky quartz eyes
full of light,

A yellow
sapphire glow
brighter than the moon
on the most immaculate
of night.

A bright red
ruby smile
stretching from ear to ear,
which she generously shares
with everyone,

Her beautiful glowing aura,
so delicate and gentle,
as rare as an opal
sparkling in the most radiant
of sun.

She's a real gem
with a beautiful
kind heart
of gold,

So very precious
to the lucky ones
that have her sweet
priceless heart
to cherish
and to hold.
