So you say poems don’t sell
ain’t no buyer for your works
arduous hours of a job done well
go down the drain fetch no perks!

You’re right poems do don’t sell
though you fill them with heart’s spice
by the hour growing weary and frail
you surely can’t feel any nice!

A dollar a poem how fine it would be
add a dollar a read to it
but poems are meant to be sold just free
you aren’t to be paid for the feat!

But you’re wrong poems do sell
them the readers do buy
when to their heart your thoughts travel
and their spirit soars up sky high!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Standing here with so many warm grains
Of sand between my toes
I think about
The power of the ocean
my mind relaxes
my eyes close
Hearing the sounds of the crashing waves
Releases all stress from my mind
I feel deep in my heart praise
Those crashing waves
Have such powerful control
Our Father gave them this force
To recon our souls
Breaking waves have always given me such Peace
Sinking deep in my heart
The Lord's message
He has all power, I must release

Life
I am a child of my mother’s dreams
**And my father’s nightmares
I read this in a bathroomstall somewhere

Life is tough
You can be crushed in just a puff
That is why I learned how to be stong enough.
                        
People tried to bring me down
They laughed at me like I'm a clown
But I showed them how I could still win the crown.

They showed me darkness so I could lose my hope
Distracted me so I will not be able to cope
But I fought to see the light instead of sitting down to mope.

Insults and curses are what they gave me
But I turned those into motivations to see
A better future that awaits me.

Had almost died due to many illnesses and felt like everyday I'm getting weaker
Doctors told me I could not any longer
But I survived coz I am a fighter.

Had been through hardships and pain
But I did not just cry in vain
It is courage and strength that I managed to gain.

Instead of seeing things negatively,
I have dealt it and countinuously dealing with it positively
That is why I can live happily.

I believe that God is always there for me
Even from my deepest and darkest misery
He never fails to help and save me
Yes, I had been through a lot. But I was able to manage it well and get through it, and of course with the help of God.
I shared this because I thought that maybe someone who almost lost his/her hope might be able to read this and would eventually be able to be inspired.

Don't easily give up! Have faith! Be brave! Believe that you can and believe that God is always there for you. :)

There’s no holding back
A traveler who wants to explore
And eager to build bridges
Across the turbulent waters
Connecting the consciousness
Who waits eagerly

The leaves on the trees are changing colors
Shades of red, yellow, purple, and brown
Soon they will begin to flutter to the ground
Our Fathers magic is upon us again
With the season change comes twisting wind
Freedom flutters just like the leaves
De-stressing our hearts to the state of tranquility
Making us thankful for what we have grown to be
Autumn is the Lords well needed season
To calm our souls
Move us forward with reason
Truly a beautiful & Joyous season

The time in my youth that taught me about true peace
Was fishing with my Papa on the coast of the East
We'd get up in the morning before sunrise
Papa would wake me with sparkle in his eyes
I'd jump down from the bunk bed
When my feet hit the floor Smells of
Grandma's hickory bacon would rush to my head
She would wrap the bacon up in a biscuit and pack it to go
I'd grab the bag of bread crumbs we'd been saving
for the seagulls, to strew
We'd pile it all in the SUV
The poles clasped firm on the front bumper
Papa's clever bumper holder made of PVC
I can smell the salt air so clear
Papa and Grandma are always with me
Ahh, that is true tranquility!!!
THE GOOD OLE DAYS
PEACE IN MY HEART THAT WILL NEVER DEPART put this on a notch above the daily fluff for Father's day  Love you Papa Angel, to stay!!
Shreds us the life
With bruises and cuts
Our days run rife
In the ifs and buts!

If the day was bright
If hadn’t fallen rain
If quickly passed the night
If living was no pain!

But the day was a mess
But the winds blew harsh
But time was hard pressed
But cloud hid the stars!

If happened how we need
If they all smoothly clicked
If luck came with speed
If clock slowly ticked!

But things ran amok
But nothing went right
But faced a roadblock
But fortune took flight!

Tear us apart the ifs and buts
Do steal away all happiness
Wound our life with bruises and cuts
Alas for them we have no redress!

Day draws slowly to its close
Deepens into mauve
May thy spirit find repose
Resting in God's love

May tomorrow bloom afresh
All thy dreams come true
Let not happiness regress
Dawn shall hope renew

Dedicated to my dear husband Timothy, hoping this may brighten his evening and morrow

Remembrance is
a form of meeting
Forgetfulness is
a form of freedom
