Val Flores Poem
The best kind of true stories are those unwritten.
Time after time, there are people who tend to rely on books to tell truth.
These individuals should be able to take a persons’ word for it.
However, it doesn’t work that way.
The reason is there have been lies that have been told and spread by word of mouth which is why many lives are torn between the realm of the truth when it’s been spoken rather than written.
But, even then ones’ words or the pages of a book can be false.
So, it really shouldn’t matter if ones’ mind escapes into the fantasy or reality world.
The main point is, the decision relies on the readers and hearers.
Whether, to believe what the truth is.
In the end, what matters is the proof that truths are really what some things are in life. Will people ever really decide what is true or false?

Val Flores Poem
I always used to ask myself this question, "What kind of imprint do I want to leave with people once I pass and am I scared of dying?" I had come to this question again once my grandfather passed.He was an amazing human being who loved God by the way.Anyway, I have learned over time through experiences of my life I have realized something and its what I want others to know, its that Life is a gift.So cherish every minute of it even the smallest moments in time.See, everyday is a new opportunity for Forgiveness.Love.Reconciliation. etc. one will not always have the chance to live promisingly.I believe that people need to go about their lives with the perspective of not what can I do for myself.But, what can I do for someone else.For instance, How can I make someone''s day? Or just simply How can I make a person smile today? For me, there's nothing that brings more joy to me than knowing I may have made a difference in a person's life. I just want others to know that the bigger picture in our existence is not just serving Jesus, but its to serve each other. I mean, of course we need to live for the Lord and spread the Gospel and live our own lives. But, there's nothing wrong with a little selflessness and its very fulfilling to do so. Oh, and No. I'm not scared of dying. You see, The Apostle Paul said it well, "To live is Christ. But, to die is gain." I know that it's different when your told you only have so much time to live than when a family member or friend is told this.But quite honestly, to me it's just death. Besides, if I could leave this earth knowing I changed at least one life, it was very worth living it.

Val Flores Poem
Never will I forget the hot summer June evening , I waved a last "Goodbye" to my sister Angel. The fact in knowing she'd be shipped out to boot camp the next day.
Never will I forget the next few weeks of complete silenced tears, the yearn to hear her voice hear her joyous laugh or see her bright smile.
Everything seemed different without her around at home.
Never will I forget the emotions I felt reading her first letter.
Never will I forget that Sunday morning at church I seen her for the first time, in a month and three days.
Never will I forget my tears of joy streaming down my face; Angel’s arms wrapped securly around me. Never will I forget how she changed and looked in her sharp uniform. My sister had become one of the "Few the Proud". A dignified Marine.

Val Flores Poem
To all of you young women who unplannedly , unpurposely were and are pregnant in highschool.You, who chose and choose to still stick to finishing school whether its attending actual public school or online classes etc.I commend you.My reasoning for that is because, I really cannot imagine how it mustv'e felt or feel to go through something such as being pregnant at a young age.From what Ive seen before, its not easy.Especially, without a specific support system.Yet, you may have one either in your parents, your child's dad, loved ones or even in your child.And, theres nothing wrong with that.From what I understand, there's alot of adjusting that takes place. But, seeing you ladies the ones I went to school with or the ones I've known for a good while, who went through it and graduated or are well on their way.You are absolutely admirable. I mean, not very many women could do what you have or are doing right now.You should be proud of yourselves, not just as individuals.But, as mothers or soon to be mothers. I believe you are all considered to be Real Heroes. =)

Val Flores Poem
Your beautiful face.Your piercing brown eyes. Your cute smile.
Your tattoos.Your style.Your jokes.Your words of wisdom.Your intelligence on life.
Your independence.Your sarcasm. Even your faults.
The fact of how cute you look when your angry.The love that you have for your child.
I respect and love you more for that. Everything about you causes me to love you.
But, I know that you don't love me like that and you already have someone.I guess that's just life.But, as your friend I'll always be there for you if you need me.
I'm only a txt or call away.Always know, I hope nothing but the best for you and that I love you for who you are.
Last thing, know this too, me loving you will always remain as the undeniabe truth.

Val Flores Poem
You know, some people base their lives on feelings of emotion; when they should live life in control, because when the day ends, it is by whatever the outcome is of each particular day it is up to the persons’ reaction whether it’s a day that going good or one that’s going bad to either get upset or happy; especially, when things go wrong during that day. Honestly, it’s tough to be cordial when life is going wrong. Yet, it’s that still small voice that stops you and allows your thoughts to gather into focus and realize that God himself sets all things in motion. He created each and every moment in time. And, he knows how the people that he created out of the dust of the air; are going to react and live each day given. So, remember that every time you wake up in the morning, it’s up to you in how you choose to start and end your day.

Val Flores Poem
If you’ve ever been through any type of crisis in your life; especially having to experience complete and utter heart break, it definitely hurts like no other.
The most terrible thing about that is how much one doesn’t realize it does until it happens to them. In all honesty, it has happened to me several times in my lifetime. To be completely honest, it happened most recently and I don’t know if I’ll ever get over it. See, it never turns out when the heart thinks it’s ready to get it crushed over and over. I guess, one could say it’s a part of life.
Unfortunately, this happens all the time, not just to me either.
So, I believe that love is just some emotion that people tend to feel when they think it’s convenient.
It’s not really real.
What people put in movies and story books aren’t real their fantasy.
It’s funny how everything you ever believed in is complete utter bull.
I tell you, people believe in love like they believe in Santa clause.
So that being said, it is settled; love is nothing rather than some silly childhood fairy tale. People say that you find the “right one”, and “your soul mate” is out there. “Love” and “Destiny” is something sacred like marriage.
How can that be when most marriages end in divorce and in relationships there is domestic violence and women become pregnant out of wedlock? Lastly, no one wants to say this, but, complete grief and pain only come from love. So, I think I answer the question about whether to tell someone how you really feel about them. So, if you’re thinking about it, don’t do it. You don’t want to end up like me, a mess. You are only hurting yourself. Believe me, that’s what happens.
Reason why is, when rejection hits you square in the face and you feel your eyes well up and ready to burst into a flood of tears, you then want to hit yourself, because you know in that sudden moment, that what you thought was real or could’ve been is in ruins and there’s no way you can ever get over the heart ache of living with that truth that you kind of already knew within yourself was not reality or even ever possible to begin with.
So, trust me on this, don’t say a word if you’re feeling a certain way towards someone; because it will only end up in complete heart break.

Val Flores Poem
She probably doesnt think shes good enough or ever will be.
If only she knew she is beautiful inside and out.
If only she knew she is appreciated and loved.
If only she knew she has the strength and will power to overcome.
If only she knew that she is a good example.
For her daughter and others as well.
Shes an inspiration to all.
If only she knew that she is great and strong just like the definition of her name.
If only she knew that she definitely matters more than she can ever comprehend.
There is one thing I know she does know its that I'm always here for her to the very end.
