To witness

This city in the morning after a storm is breathtaking.

It reminds me why I came here in the first place. So much I wanted to see but not all on the list have been seen just yet.

I know these last couple of days have brought on so much that I’m not the only one growing and reaching out.

Hoping things will continue to improve and expand.

So let’s all have a little more faith that things will look up if we just do a little more work.

And maybe one day our city will be the way we want it to be!

Poetry

To stop

Expecting the unexpected things into your life as if it is what you want or desire?

How can one get help if one keeps expecting someone else to come along and do the work you know is expected of you.

Stop saying yes when you have the feeling you should have said no in the first place.

It’s time to accept you have to do the work with the time you have and to stop overdoing it over time.

Your pushing too hard for something that might be yours later on for the hope of all the answers to be delivered to you now.

It may be your time to shine, but you will never know if you will if you stay in the shadows for too long. For it’s time to step out where others can see you and shine as bright as you can and hope that at least one person notices you.

At that, my friend will just be the beginning of it all.
