Tart you are delicious and satisfying to my sweet tooth.
When I see you it’s hard to look away from you.
Your my weakness and I try so hard to not let my sweet tooth win all my battles.
For dessert can’t be on my mind all the time or all I want to eat.
Oh tart I think I will have you this time but next time I think I’ll choose something else.

I was fishing for some more information about you but I didn’t want to be so obvious.
To why I cared to know so much, so I casually talked about something else in hopes it would turn back to you.
Even talking to you didn’t seem like enough time to get to know you.
Your words not shared with me are the ones I crave the most.
You’re the fish I’m hoping to catch soon in my hope of being full again.

On you as you walk through the door with a smile on your face.
There is a storm going on around you and you just walk through it like nothing can touch you.
No rips on your clothes or scratches on your skin.
You walk tall as the lighting hits around you but never close enough to hurt you.
The winds grow stronger as you walk towards me.
Blowing your hair in front of your face and even when I fear the worst, you stop and put your hair up.
As you bend down and look me in the eye, you smile and tell me nothing going to take you away from me for now.
So let it all go my little bird and as the feathers of my fear blow away.
New hope grows strong in me as I draw you close to me tonight.

So proud you are of all that you have done
but not to proud to not stop and help others.
You have overcome so much that you don’t see things the way you used too.
You now see in others what no one saw in you, that they all have great potential and just need a little push to get there.
You don’t give up even when your mad or disappointed in the decision they made.
You wait for them to slow down and truly see they are worth so much more than their mistakes.
And those mistakes don’t make them a bad person.
You are proud of them for they continue to fight the battles they have in their life.
And one day you hope all the hard work they did to get to the person you always saw in them.
That day will be the proudest moment for you, for it will feel like your first son became a man.

I watched the flames burn up everything I thought I needed.
But as the flames grew stronger, I no longer had the desire to cry out for those things anymore.
It was like all the worrying and stress was now burn up and there was nothing but ashes left.
I was free to start over again with the hope that everything wouldn’t go up in flames again.

I could live my life looking for the things I’m missing and focus on the things that I want.
Or I can live it with hope that what I truly need will work its self out and come into my life when it’s the right time.
I could wake up every morning and go about my day with no hope of having a good day.
Or I could pray that today will be a great day and try my hardest to not let others ruin my day.
So many things I could do or not do but I think I’ll take a chance and do what I need to do and let everything else work it’s self out today.
And whatever I don’t finish I always hope I have  tomorrow or the next day to get it done.

Thought words would save me from this world.
I see the beauty in all that is around me but when I sit down
and read the words of others.
I feel connected to those words and my creativity is inspired and,
I become eager to write something because if I don’t this feeling won’t go away.
And I won’t be satisfied until I accomplished the goal my body was telling me to do.
I am one with my words and when I feel that I have poured all that I can into a piece I feel good and at peace.
Writing lights a fire inside me that grows stronger when I’m inspired or just amazed at all the great work I read.
To be able to get lost in a book, a poem or a movie is like stepping away from my world for a little bit and truly opening my eyes to something new.
To feel like that word or words has changed me in a way I couldn’t change myself on my own.
I’m different and I see the things and people I love and sometimes I see the things I’ve been ignoring and I try to do better.
For my words and other words are more powerful than I thought.

Whoever wants to do this challenge
Rules of the challenge:
She primp’s her hair hoping things will work out tonight because it’s  usually a fuzzy  mess.
But today for some reason every curl falls down to her shoulders with no issues and stay place all night long.
Tonight wasn’t just any night, it was the night she first met her first love.
And tonight was the first time she would be apart from him in 34 years of marriage.
She didn’t want to cry anymore for the memories of him out weight the sorrow of him leaving her only a year.
She had learned a lot since being on her own, So many people being there for no matter what.
Now, She gets  to spend sometime remembering the night that turned her life upside down and the best way.
A day to smile about and look beautiful for not long from now she will be joining her live up above forever.

My first thoughts used to be about you
But I’ve had second thoughts about you since then and I’ve never been so happy.
Sometimes people aren’t as great as they seem to  be at first.
But, not all second thoughts begin because you needed to see things clearly again.
Sometimes you stop your thoughts in the process and rethink what you thought you wanted.

I wish I wasn’t so irritated right now
because  then I could see the brightness
Of  today.
But I let the small things get to me and that built up my anger.
And now I’m here stuck trying to figure out how do I stop this from happening again.
Yes I could ignore you next time and let your words go out one ear and the other.
Or I could tell you off and let it all out and maybe next time you will be  smarter when  it comes to trying me.
Because I rather be annoyed by you than let myself get so irritated that I act outside my character.

I do relish my time writing and listening to music for
the beat and lyrics of the music always relates to me in a way.
It’s something inside of me comes alive and something just helps the words pour from me or I just get lost in the music.
I’m sure there is a lot of things I relish and every one of them makes me feel a different way.
But what I love the most is some relish on a fully loaded hotdog but then again I do enjoy reading and letting my mind take me to a new place every time I sit done to write.

anniversary to my blog.
This year has been so amazing I have grown so much in my writing and as a person.
I am blessed that my lord has blessed me with the courage to write again and to let everyone see it.
I may be  a shy person but this blog was a wake up call and it take me out of my comfort zone every time I write and hit publish.
I am so happy to have written 468 post and I’m not planning to stop or slow down.
I am thankful and grateful for this blog and the blogging community.
To all 411 followers I have to the friends I’ve made on here.
It’s been an amazing year and I can’t wait to see how far I can go next year with my writing.
I hope you all stay and keep reading my work and,that you all have a great day!
run free though life with no care in the world.
Let the cold freeze me and turn me into ice, so your warm touch can melt me into nothing but a puddle of our  love.
Let me be a rock that only you can crack open to discover the true me,
keep me close to your heart so that every beat is for me and only me.
Let me get lost only to find my way back to you.
Time is doesn’t matter when I’m away from you, but every minute spent with you is so precious that I don’t want to waste even a second.
I treasure everything we have even when we don’t agree.

It had been a long day for Lila and her favorite place to be was sitting at the base of her family oak tree.
she could get lost in her book for the month.
And all her problems and stresses would fade away if only for a moment or thirty minutes.
She would rest her back against the tree and read or write out her thoughts and every time she walked away she would feel so much better.
This tree base always centered her back to where she needed to be.
