Best Focus Poems
Set your sights high
Follow what your heart desires
There’s nothing you can’t do
With your deepest breath
Take in the universe
There’s nothing you can’t do
Dream your dream in vivid colors
Make it all come true
There’s nothing you can’t do
Live the life your soul desires
There’s nothing you can’t do
There’s nothing you can’t do

December 22, 2018 POEM OF THE DAY
So harsh and cold, the late October wind
Oak branches sway before the orange moon
Bright leaves that filled its branches now have thinned
Just one remains to dance in autumn's tune
But I stroll to the river filled with hope
A group of manatees takes shelter there
Their playful ways have always helped me cope
In winter when the trees have stripped to bare
Our love for living things will linger on
Throughout the winter, we'll seek signs of life
Though dormant plants may seem like they are gone
I choose to see the boons, not study strife
For birds and animals still entertain
When spring returns, we'll welcome blooms again

Staying focused is a mindset,
Take your time one step at a time.
Find your flow and go with it,
Think positive and don't ruin it.
The process is real and the drive is strong
If you stay focused on living out your dream,
Then you will take the steps
You need to reach success.
Going, going, gone you've been running
All along just stay focused on the mission.
No matter how challenging the roads are ahead,
Don't turn away from obstacles blocking your way.
Focus on your mission, not on your position.
No one is looking to see where you started,
They look to see where you're going.
Don't lose hope and travel away.
Tough times are up ahead,
Keep moving you’re on your way!
I hear you're learning to drive...
Straight Ahead, make No U-Turn!
Beware each Speed Bump Ahead.
Naught can Tow Away your dreams.
Do not lose focus - Stay Right.
Do not fear any Sharp Curve.
Do not Yield to impatience
(Do Not Enter that sad scene).
There's One Way - let wisdom guide,
Stop when your vision gets blurred.
Keep Clear of every Dead End,
Proceed With Caution, boldly!
regrouping
i take a deep breath
like nothing else matters
owning the moment
basking in its magnificence
relishing in the focus
the intensity of being present
the pulsating rhythm of consciousness
and synchronized openness
making peace with time
letting go of the past
of what’s ahead of what’s next
experiencing life in segments
having sublimely discovered
the secret to stretching time
measuring life in instants
and gaining a feeling of…
if not control at least harmony
as it becomes a way of life
showing me what’s most rewarding

Feeling faint
Focus
Focus on the feign feelings flowing feverishly, not the foremost flare of fear at first glance
Fated by the flux, fabricated (for once) in my favor and forever grateful
Fixated, her features and figure flashed like fortune in front of me
Fingering through her cerebral files, feeling her fortified front deemed a froward but flawless find
Fast-forward-at least five years
And still I flush from the sight of her freckles
Our faithfulness fell into fiction a few times; foolish fuel for feuding flames
Forecasting fights and frigid nights, but nothing fatal
For we are a formula, a tight fitting fixture
Fixing all fractures with forgiveness and finding ways to fathom and forget
Forsaking myself, my foundation; but further on
The fragile will flourish as we firmly fix our footing, fenced in by our family and fervent felines
Fake? No, this is fact
Have faith in the fire of love
No more frowns
YOU CAN WITH GODS HANDS
YOU HAVE A GOLD
THAN UNLOAD
DON'T FOLD
DO IT FROM YOUR SOUL
AND DON'T GET DECUSS
STAY FOCUS
focus
on your breathing
block out all background noise
and distracting thoughts from your mind
and let the world around you disappear.
enter the realm of mindfulness;
be absolutely still
silence is the key...
focus

All things can tempt me~ I'm a scatter brain
Trying to focus causes a degree of pain
Distracted by a yummy treat or herbal tea
The slightest sounds arouse and sidetrack me
It's all too easy to sway my concentration
Toying with convoluted laws of attraction
My attention spins often on a dime
It doesn't take much for me to waste my time
That's why I prefer to ignore the phone
And keep working on building me a clone

We will never understand the reason
If we only focus on this life
Or the purpose of God and the plans that he's got
For the good of all mankind
If we only see daily mounting troubles
And not the Glory that's soon to come
That God set aside when his son came to die
Offering that free gift to everyone
While some gladly take, others seal their own fate
Judging themselves apart from God's Love
Setting all of the blame on the God who loves them
Thinking they know when they clearly don't
In speaking those words they just add to the curse
An eternity of Hell fire and brimstone
Because somehow they think for them to believe
They first must give everything up
No way could they know the treasures bestowed
For those who die to themselves
Giving all that they have to what forever lasts
Forsaking everything else
We never will understand the reason
If we only focus on today
Instead of what's to come in the heavenly relm
While what we have here quickly passes away
I shall no longer worry about the things I can’t effect or change .......
instead I shall focus on the things I can ,
And in times When I reach that Dark chasm of the unknown ,
I shall Bridge this fearful height with my faith ....cross cautiously ‘
‘and pray that it holds .
Bliss fixates our attention
upon formless awareness,
that in timeless time we see,
light of our true Self.
(Spanish Huitain)
Focus my eyes on Him each day
He's always with me when in need
Jesus is best friend I do say
He dwells in my heart and head
His words inspires me when read
With me whenever I do go
He's always there when I'm in need
Brings joy when pain in my heart grow.

Stay focus on Lord till reach goal
Just do it one day at a time
You will complete your task just fine
Even if from bottom you climb
Don't lose sight and never give up
Stay focus on Lord till reach goal
Do it with all your heart and soul
Keep Love,Faith, Hope, till reach dreams
Don't let them go, or toss away
Just keep them in heart, mind all time
Stay focus on Lord till reach goal
Believe in you, Gods with you
Just do it one day at a time
Do it with all your heart and soul
Believe in you, Gods with you
Stay focus on Lord till reach goal.

(Kyrielle)
Stay focus till you reach your goal
Take it slow and watch for your soul
Don't rush and you will be just fine
And know that with Gods help you'll shine.
As you do this you'll start to climb
Make beautiful music and rhyme
Rest assured that things will align
And know that with Gods help you'll shine.
Stay focus with your heart and mind
Do your part remember Gods kind
And he has your heart in a shrine
And know that with Gods help you'll shine.
