You

sometimes just have to smile when you realize that everything is coming together for once.

You know that even if everything falls apart again you still have this moment to look back on and feel at peace.

Because sometimes things get bad but tomorrow will and can be brighter so let it all out today and let tomorrow bloom on it’s own.

People

Need hope

and dreams

and joy to get by in their life.

A lot of times they don’t all come at the same time

and so there is some times that the dream is not hopeful  and so the joy is not seen at all.

But, you don’t give up when things go wrong for the hope that things will turn around give you the strength to keep fighting for your dream.

And the joy will come when you finally get everything to come together and you finally succeed because you didn’t give up when the struggle was continuous.

You had big enough faith to know that it would all work out and your hope for a joyful day was answered and your dream not just a dream but your present and hopefully your future too.

Finding

Week 172 of Three Line Tales

center after such a long week wasn’t easy and I feel it still isn’t as I stand on this roof.

Trying to shut out all the words and sounds around me as I focus on what I love to do and not get lose in all that has been going on.

So tired and frustrated and letting all that is around me take away the peace I had stops now and I’m taking back my peace for good.

Finding my peace once more!

Oh how

I love to start my day with a great book to read well attempting to eat breakfast.

I know that I can get lost in a good book and maybe eating breakfast and reading are not all that great of an idea but, I just can’t help myself.

Walking past the kitchen quickly to find the right book before my food greats cold sometimes can be a bit of a challenge but, I’m up for it today and tomorrow and everyday for the rest of my life.

Words and Breakfast!

Poetry

Words

how I want to not use them right now as the anger and frustration boils up inside me.

I don’t want to open my mouth other than to scream or to say good bye and not look back.

I’m tired of having to say what we both know is happening around us right now. It’s time to stop playing games.

For the words that used to come out my mouth won’t be heard from me anymore for I’m tired of words right now.

So you are going to have to do something more for me right now to make things  better for I just can’t stand the silent message that is on play right now.

I just want to forget the words that were said and the words that have yet to be said because I know the truth to the looks and the hidden messages.

Being able to read you has always been one of my best skills and so right now the words of the truth are written all over you and right now I’ve had enough of really between the lines and seeing all play out in from of me.

So I know the words will have to be spoken but right now I just want to listen and keep as quiet as possible.

My wishes

burned up that day as I hoped that I could get out through these difficult moments in my life.

I knew that things needed to change so burning this worldly thing that we wish on felt as if was finally letting go the things from the past and moving on to the present and trusting in the things that I know to be true.

No more depending on the things that hold no ability at all, it’s time to put my hopes and dreams into something that will show results no matter what others say I believe and will continue to live this way.

So to hope that things will get better and the fire of my success will continue to burn no matter what happens.

Somethings

in life are worth pausing for and truly thinking about what is next.

Maybe we don’t always have the time to pause and appreciate these little moments as much as we would like.

So today I want to pause and just let the world pass me by as I take the time to focus on me and not all that is going on.

And maybe I will like I’m living and not just stumbling along with everyone else as life goes from one day to the next day.

So

many colors

so much joy

so much to look forward too.

When the weather is just right

and going outside would be a all day thing that you don’t have question if this day will be memorable because you will know it is and the colors will be the first thing  you think of when you remember that day.
