The gem

mywords2228

I sit there staring at the most beautiful gem

I have ever seen and the want to have it is so strong

It could knock me off my feet.

The color so bright it shines just like the sun, sometimes so bright it blinds you for a moment.

But, the beauty is so unreal it’s scary something so great could be so real and so close to being mine.

It doesn’t cost money or trading things to get, it just takes a bit of faith and hope and a little movement with  your nose.

Close your eyes and reach out and the gem would be mine.

For the gem was never a piece of treasure but your heart inside of you and I worked hard to make sure it was mine to protect and love for a lifetime.

I knew

Things were different when life seemed to pass me by.

When my memories of days seemed so foggy.

Yesterday seem like a lifetime ago and things I did, I can not recall.

Maybe it wasn’t important to remember it all or maybe my brain is to full of the past to be able to focus on the present.

And take note of the things changing now and how much the walls in my life are coming up more.

I’m well guarded and yet it doesn’t stop my heart from caring behind the glass it’s locked in.

It beats on and brightly as if nothing could harm it and even if it did it would forgive.

It’s the one thing in my life that doesn’t change for my heart is pure and caring and maybe it’s full of loving people and things and one dog.

But it knows it always has room for more, if only more would take a chance on it.

Happy Father’s Day

Today is such a great day to be grateful for the father’s in our life

and the father’s we got to know.

Some father’s are gone and may they rest in peace and I hope that

the families are remember the man they are missing right now.

Then there are the father’s who may not be around and the mother’s

are being the dad  too, I  want them to know they’re doing a great job and to

keep up the hard work.

Father’s day is just a day but our father’s are always appreciated year around and that

goes for my father and God who is a father to me as well.

I am grateful for the time and memories I have with my dad and I hope that I have many

more for I love my dad with all my heart and, I know one day isn’t enough to show him how much I love him and how much my sisters love him too.

I hope everyone is enjoying this day and showing their love one’s how much

they mean to them not just today but everyday.

For without  a father, we wouldn’t be here.

Lets be glad for the things we have in our life and not worry about the things

we don’t have for it will all workout in the end.

They say

who wants to be alone forever.

But you can’t rush the process of life and sometimes, it’s your time to be alone.

And when the right one comes along,you will let him into your heart.

But, right now is not the right time and you know that.

So enjoy your time of learning everything about yourself.

Because there is no timeline for when you need to be with the right one for you.

This isn’t a movie, this is your life so live it for you and trust your gut.

And when you’re not looking or thinking about whose the right person for you.

They will show up and you will know, right in that moment, place that this is who you’ve been waiting for.

That night you were

mywords2228

So patient and kind to me, you we’re earlier

I didn’t think I deserved the tendering touch.

You were giving me, for earlier I had been so cruel.

I yelled at you for forgetting something, I later discovered

I never told you to get.

For the text was never sent ,you should be mad out me for being

so upset when you won’t in the wrong.

But you just stood there looking so calm and, when I was done

you walked up to me and hugged me and said you’d go get it now.

You left and thirty minutes later you came back with the treat

I was craving and,you kissed me on the head and said everything will be okay.

I thanked you for going out and, said I was sorry for yelling for it was my fault you never got the text.

You said it’s okay and next time you will check in before coming home just in case I needed something on your way home.

And I realized that night just how lucky I am and,how crazy you’re to stick around and love me no matter what.

One of my favorite movies

Eat, pray, love is a good movie and I loved everything about it. I loved the stages she took to find herself and not just keep living the same old life. This poem is inspired by this movie.

 

I didn’t want to wake up and complain about how everything

Is the same and it’s not fair, when I’m not doing anything about it.

I packed up all the things that carried great memories and threw the rest away.

No need to hold on to the past things or words when they do more harm been kept and remembered.

I feel so free now as I walk away from the baggage that held me back all these

Years.

I’m not a kid anymore and so my old toys have to go, and they will be replaced with books and movies and sketchbooks.

Who am I? I said to myself when all was lost and I had fallen off the wagon I had once been on.

My happiness is a rocky road for it is not always around, but I  don’t let the sadness stay for long.

Things that seemed so simple become so much harder to deal with when you’ve lost your way over and over again.

But you don’t give up because right now you’re at your strongest, and it’s time to fight for your not alone in this battle.

It’s all up  to you to eat up the food, the knowledge and to pray every step of the way.

Also, to love with all your heart for something’s only happen once and the new you wants to live it all.

Leaving no rock unturned, and for the first time in a long time you smile and laugh on your own for everything you’ve been searching for is right in front of you.

Forever!

A stroll through life with my mother!

mywords2228

My mother has been there for me

Every step I take in life.

From the day I was born to my first word, step.

And as I started to take my first stroll through

Life my mother was there, with great nurture.

My mother taught me to trust myself and know I am

Beautiful because God made me this way and to be strong.

And  to embrace who I am.

Even though I have strolled through my childhood, teenage years and I am now an adult.

I still enjoy strolling through my memories and present moments with my mother.

I am grateful to be able to take strolls through life with her, even shared those strolls with my sisters.

I will not ever stop wanting to share these strolls with my mother, for she brings great joy to me.

Love you Mom.

Happy mother’s day to everyone!

I’m just me and your just you!

I see you and your smile captures me

And I fall just a little bit inside.

But I take my time to figure you out

So I truly know who’ve I’ve fallen for.

Things  start out like a dream that I’ve

Been able to live in everyday, oh lucky me.

Soon reality kicks in and everything takes a

rough spin and nothing seems to be able to stop

This pain  that has no end.

And when it ends, sadness is over flowing but

Soon your words left behind give me strength.

To go on with a smile on my face and a laugh

Waiting to escape my lips again one day.

But today is bright, and I owe it all to the time

I had with you.

Oh how beautiful you are

from your one of a kind plants, flowers, people.

We wake up to you everyday.

We appreciate you for you, you are our home and you give so much to us

but we take you for granted everyday as well.

We say we love you, yet we do harmful things to you.

Oh earth what have we done to you! 

Will you ever forgive us for our crimes against you?

Will we ever stop hurting you and work together to make you a better place?

Here I am

mywords2228

with my  arms wide open

ready to let it all in.

I’m not afraid to put it

out there my words, myself.

As the sun shines down on this day

I am who I am suppose to be and I’m

so full with truth, with love and understanding today.

That I feel like I could burst any minute now and

shower you all with the light and joy inside me

that I want to smile at you all.

And hope my smile just breaks through the sadness,

the disappointment, the loneliness or whatever emotions

your feeling.

And make you feel like even when you feel like it’s too much that

I’m here a friend, who may be a stranger but true to knowing life

may not bring a smile to your face everyday.

But that you can pocket my smile, and my joy, my light and pull it out

when you feel yours isn’t quite strong enough today.

How I became content with my life!

mywords2228

There’s nothing more that I would need

For I know I’m content with everything I have.

As I sit here and I close my eyes it all falls away and I’m content with what I have again for I feel your warmth God.

And you tell me to just let go and let you take over and as I let go everything falls into place.

My eyes open and I smile for once I feel like I choose to put my trust in you and believed it would all workout.

My mind is clear and I’m in heaven as my heart is beating to a new tune.

A tune of praise so beautiful it made everything else fade away,  I’m soon swaying to the melody that stole my heart forever.

A feeling of true content in you God for my need always came from you so pure.

It is said that home is where the heart is.

And I agree because when I’m home this little cutie above is apart of my heart.

One of the many reasons I enjoy being home.

To see that smile and those cute little eyes

always makes me smile and warms my heart.

As long as this little guy is in my home or wherever I go.

My heart is always home.

Dear Friend

mywords2228

It is such a lovely day today

minus all the rain outside.

I wanted to say I miss you

and all the times we were goofy together.

I can’t believe we’ve been friends for almost nine years.

There’s been ups and downs but mostly on my part but you stuck around

even when I was so upset you couldn’t truly understand what I was saying.

You are a true friend and only want the best for me and sometimes that’s hard

to accept for I don’t know what I want out of life yet.

But at the end of the day even when we don’t talk I know our friendship will carry on because every time we feel we can’t get through this day.

We wake up the next and everything is such much better.

So I just want to say thank you for being my friend and lets keep blowing the darkness away because all I hear with you is the laugher, the joy of getting to spend another moment with you.

My eyes are wide open!

As I realize I’m being pulled to you.

You have changed and I’m not sure how to handle it.

But as you smile at me and take my hand, I know nothing can break us apart.

Together we will fight through it all even when they try to scream and pull us apart.
