Daily Prompt: Irrelevant

So many things become irrelevant as you realize the most important things in life aren’t the things you can buy.

So much hype about things that maybe you need them when life knocks you on your butt and it shocks you to the core.

That nothing can distant you from this feeling you are feeling inside right now and even though you have to move on with your life.

You know that nothing will ever be the same again.

I can’t believe the cool pictures this book has and to think I didn’t really like reading until now.

I was just blown away by all the cool things I learned and I just couldn’t wait to tell my cousins all about it.

Today is just the best day ever!

October is almost here the month of Halloween

the one time of year everyone wants to dress up.

And celebrate and create something spooky or cool

so here I am creating this cool skeleton jelly.

I didn’t think it would turn out so great and even better it taste just so good

that everyone wanted more and depended I make it at my annual Halloween party this year.

I’m looking forward to some spooky creation to appear for October is one of my favorite months.

October is almost here!

Poetry

I could

use your touch as the memories come to my mind

and the tears begin to fall.

Moving forward alone just doesn’t seem so possible right now

so hold me close and give me the comfort I need so much lately.

I want to get lost inside my thoughts but the truth and reality is too strong

I can’t pretend that everything is okay right now.

I know that I need to have the joy and love that will outweigh the sorrow I feel

so come to me and wrap me up inside your arms and hold me until I stand on my own.

And even then still hold my hand and guide me through the things I’m still not strong enough to deal with right now.

Daily Prompt: Leaf

All the leaves are falling off the trees as the first day of fall appears

Even though the weather is still hot and warm.

I’m so ready to just relax and feel some breezy weather but I’m not yet ready for winter

just cold enough it doesn’t make me sweat.

I’m ready to see all the people raking up leaves and kids making mountains out of leaves just to jump in them and make a mess.

While just smiling and laughing at the simple things in life that bring them joy.

Fall one of my favorite time of the year

just ready to wrap up a little and enjoy the breeze all throughout the days, with just a little sun beating down on me.

Daily Prompt: Mighty

My God is mighty all the time

But, on the days that I am going through the roughest storms.

He knows just what I need without me asking for anything at all.

I run to him the moment things turn bad but also when things are good.

Recently, the loss of my great grandma had me rushing to my God.

For I know I needed him more than ever as the tears washed down my face.

And he delivered his strength and comfort through the days to come.

Yes, there was sorrow in my heart and soul but he was there not ever letting me go.

I will be okay because of him and for that he is mighty for he will always love me and now my great grandma is spending time with him.

And, one day we will all be together again.

Daily Prompt: Crumb

Crumbs sometimes they can’t be avoided

when your eating something so good.

You try to avoid a mess but when something like crumb cake

or anything that is so good.

Usually comes with crumbs and you try your best to not make a mess and look like a slob but when something so good that each bite just makes you so happy.

What you look like after eating it isn’t a worry or a concern for you, your just happy to enjoy the meal or snack when you can.

Poetry

Daily Prompt: tentative

She was so uncertain of the decision she had made.

And there was no time to turn around and walk away.

She had to get on that stage and say what was on her mind and what was in her heart.

As she spoke the uncertain faded away as everything spilled out.

And when it was time for her to get off stage every person seemed to have tears in their eyes.

As they stood up and clapped for her and afterwards all she heard was praises.

She decided that day she wouldn’t be uncertain anymore about that things she felt so much about.

For, they were the things she was meant to do and be good at.

Daily Prompt: Glorious

It was a glorious day outside

and for the first time she was looking forward to the day ahead.

The nice breeze as she takes a stroll in the morning before she starts her day

was like a wake up call to her.

She smiled more as the day went on, all the little things that would have bothered her just didn’t matter anymore.

This day was more than she had expected and she was grateful to be able to enjoy it.
