Wilma Neels Poet Free verse

'potential'

You can act like the world owe you everything 
Or you can go out there 
Take a deep breath 
And create your own magic

Even sharing your smile is a catalyst 
When you don’t feel your worth
Remember potential are packaged in different forms

Step away from wanting to be what others think you should be
And just be you
Your worth and your potential is not determined by strangers
It starts within

Carolyn Devonshire March 14, 2015 at 12:38 PM Wow, Wilma! So many young people do seem to feel the world owes them everything. You, however, have always been able to "create your own magic." Smiles are catalysts that elevate our moods. What a powerful message! Love you, Carolyn

Rhonda Johnson-Saunders March 14, 2015 at 2:51 AM Great advice. I've been doing some soul searching lately, and I'm thinking about going back to school part-time, but I know I'm going to get resistance because of my age and my kids. I don't want others to measure my own potential...wise words as always, Wilma! Hugs, Rhonda
