Good

mywords2228

Company makes the tiring and long days not as bad as you would think.

You know when you have the right people around that things will work out in your favor.

You start looking forward to seeing these people and even though you have to work, you start to become a family and you have each other backs.

You know that things will be okay, you understand each other and know that sometimes someone is going to be off and you are there to help out a little bit more just to make things better for them.

You do your best because you want to work hard as a team and at the end of the day, your success is their success too.

Your happy and laughter and wouldn’t trade it in for anything but, maybe a couple of days off but you know you will be missed.

Here we go

again the three of us hanging out always spells for a good time.

Laughter is always loud and around when we are together even if it just for a hour and a half.

We try to meet up more but lately these have been a little busy for us all but, I know that soon things will slow down.

We love to shop together and walk around together laughing and catching up with no care in the world.

We have always had each other’s back since day one of this friendship, even with the odd number of three we always made it work and made sure no one felt left out.

They always said trouble was coming when the three of us got together and maybe sometime we cause a little damage here and there but we always fixed what we broke.

Our style is each unique and different that no matter apart of together we always commented on something we care wearing.

We accept each other flaws and know that at the end of the day we have each others back and nothing will keep us apart for long.

For we became friends at 6 years old and we because family soon after.

Our pain whether separate or together we comfort each other in person or on the phone for at the end of day we know that we don’t want to be missing the other in the reality that they are not coming back.

We spend time together like it’s our last and we know if it is we lived it to the fullest with no regrets and no opportunities left unturned.

You happy when you set me free from this life you said had so much more to offer me these days.

Did you ever think about how I really would feel about you leaving me that day and how long it took me to get to this place of peace I’m living in now.

I reach up to the sky and I feel so blessed to feel the light shining down on me this day.

I know that who I am today is because of me and that day you walked away from me, made me realize how much I was leaning on you and not standing on my own two feet.

I need to be balance of myself before I could ever really lean on someone else and now I’m more happy than I could like possible.

journey ahead of me and I’m ready to take it and get away from this place. 

I need this trip to forget all the things that I’ve been stressing about and I just want to read and lose myself in something other than my life problems and the things I want to do. 

I want to feel like I’m doing something I want to do and I’m enjoying this time that I have to myself for this trip will be so long that I won’t know what day it is and I wont have a care in the world. 

As days and weeks fly by all the matters will the be the smile on my face and laugh that seems to be always filling the air around me. 

I will smile and realize this is the sweetest and peaceful  moment in my life and I know that I’ve waited a long time for this moment to come and I wouldn’t trade it in for anything.

You

always believed in me when I didn’t even know what I really wanted out of life. 

You always brought me out my shell and letting be have my moment when I was too shy to face anyone other than you. 

You took me past my limits I placed for myself so that I would always be safe, you kick those limits out of the way and showed there was so much to live for that being scared wouldn’t get me anywhere in life. 

You made me know that being shy wasn’t a bad thing and everyone has to warm up to people and then and only then will they be comfortable to put themselves out there. 

This shy sweet smile is for you for you fought so hard to brighten up my life and now I can at least smile for you and myself today.

I know

mywords2228

it’s late but I just needed to get this off my chest.

I miss you and I wish I could talk to you about everything.

But, I can’t seem to be able to find you and I wonder if I ever will.

You will be one of the people who know everything and nothing I say or do will keep you away.

I know that at times it will suck because of our schedules won’t match but I will make time for you.

For you will always be there for me and I will appreciate all the love and time you will have for me.

I wish you would hurry up and come my way for this place feels so lonely lately.

I don’t want to be lost anymore, I just want to be with you and I want to be full again.

I know you are the key to the lock that has been on my heart.

You will be my favorite and you will lift my mood like a good song coming on the radio.

You will be the reason I smile more and the reason I see the light that was so lost to me when the world around me became so dark.

You are my happiness that stays longer than a couple of hours.

You are as much as apart of me as I am apart of you.

I know that you get me like no one else and you don’t worry about time for you know soon it will be unlimited.

You trust me and I trust you and so every move is accepted and respected for we always ask first.

Nothing else will ever seem worth the wait after this moment.

It’s you and me and that is what I’m truly looking forward to.

Daily Prompt: Carousel

mywords2228

As a child the merry-go-round was the ride every kid wanted to go on

with all the wooden horse that were so colorful.

You just wanted to ride them and wave to your parents as they stood off to the side of the ride.

Taking pictures of you having so much fun that when the ride came to a stop, you didn’t want to get off.

But, you did and you begged to go on it again and again.

Until you became to tired and it was time to go home and dream about what an awesome day you had.

Joyful

mywords2228

Thinking about you brings so much joy to me that I wonder is something really happening between us, as I look deeply into your eyes I begin to see it all play out in front of me.

As I hear the beating of my heart match the beating of your heart, I realize we only have this time together.

Before life rips us apart and our time split in so many ways it will be a miracle if we see each other again.

But, even apart my thoughts always lead back to you and when time gives me a break I’m there for you and I always lose track of time after that.

But, I know no second or minute, or hour is wasted when it’s spent on helping you.

Happy New Year’s

mywords2228

As New year’s eve ends , I realize I’m sad to see 2016 go but so excited to see what 2017 has to offer me.

I’m excited for the direction my life is going and my writing and I know I have nothing to worry about next year.

Because whatever happens I will embrace it all with open arms and enjoy the roller coaster I have to go on to get to the side I belong on.

Letting it all go and letting God take care of me and my life has been the best decision I have ever made.

My baggage is no longer suffocating me and I am free to walk away from the past with no string attached.

I’m light with nothing weighing me down as I walk through life with so much hope and faith and determine that it will all work out for me.

 

Happy Year’s everyone, I hope 2017 brings you so much hope and blessings that 2016 didn’t.

I know that WordPress community surely blessed me in 2016.

I know nothing but great writing is coming my way and my fellow bloggers.

This Year we will continue to inspire each other and support each other. Our work will touch many hearts and bring the joy someone may be looking for.

Thank you for following me and reading my work!

Daily Prompt: Hopeful

mywords2228

I want to be hopeful that as today ends that great things will be coming my way this new year.

And that everything I need will be presented to me and I will live my life the way God wants me to.

That  I will continue to see the greatest inside of me and to trust my gut when things seem off.

That I will continue to make the right decisions and not let worldly things distract me from my true purpose in life.

I’m so hopeful that everything will be ten times more great than they already are.

Nothing but positivity flowing through me that I could just burst with happiness and light the sky with fireworks.

Hopeful that all dreams will come true  and more people will be believe that they can do the impossible if they just believe just a tiny bit.

Being alive is a hopeful moment every morning when you wake up and realize you  have another chance to make things right with your life.

That yesterday wasn’t the end and your problems won’t as big as you thought they were,

being hopeful gives me so much joy that I hope that I will be hopeful for the rest of my life.

Merry Christmas

mywords2228

I hope everyone had a great day and realized today was not just about gifts but spending time with the ones they love and cherishing the memories made today.

Some of us know today is about Jesus and celebrating his birthday and realizing life wouldn’t be as great if it wasn’t for him.

Today is great whether you celebrate it for the lord or for just spending time with the people you love.

Just be grateful that you got to take the time out and spend some love and joy.

Daily Prompt: Candle

mywords2228

You’re a flame to my candle and without you I would not have  brighter days when the my light is too low to shine on its own.

You’re the flame to the candle that never seems to go out.

Always providing warmth and hope.

You move to beat of the music with so much joy.

Never missing a beat,so strong and dedicated to being the best flame on a candle that smells so good.

No one would want to get rid of you and would buy so many of you.

You’d always be out of stock but, they would always wish you were around to light up their day and night.

Lights out!

mywords2228

I can feel the lights going off inside of me as the darkness starts to crawl in.

And I shut down for the care is gone and in its place is a girl no one knows.

There’s no joy in her eyes or her smile and if you stare hard enough you will see the emptiness in her eyes.

The girl I used to be is locked up in cell wishing she could come out but the world has shut her down and so she gave up the fight of wanting the joy in life.

She floats around the shell of the person she used to be.
The helpful, joyful, caring person gone in seconds and trapped for a lifetime.

Daily Prompt: Sacrifice

mywords2228

I’d sacrifice all my time to write a beautiful poem

To read a great book or two

To watch a movie that gives me hope or just to be lost in it for an hour or two.

To find myself no matter how long it takes.

To write a book that will leave me captured in the story even when I finish writing it.

I’d sacrifice a lot to the outcome that things will be better in the end

There’s no joy without a little sacrifice here and there.
