Brighter Poems

Rising from my ashes to burn brighter

Verse]
In the shadows of a life torn apart,
He turned his back, shattered this heart.
Left us drowning in his reckless storm,
While I gathered pieces, all bruised and worn.

[Verse]
Chains of the past, they won’t hold me down,
With every tear, I’m reclaiming my crown.
My son glows bright, a tech wizard at play,
While my little girl paints our dreams

Braver Days, Brighter Ways


giggling swaying around carelessly...
i feel my life in a state of fantasy...
few days before, i recall..
i swear, i thought i be in a downfall...

grateful and hopeful, i am..
glancing around seeing miracles charm..
God must have opened the door..
thus, encouraging me to follow...

it is not of my own accord..
to my God, i trust He mark in record...

I’m striving, my love, for brighter days,  
To walk with you on life’s better ways.  
With every breath, I lift your name,  
In prayers to Allah, a sacred flame.

I seek His mercy, His guiding light,  
To bring you close in love’s pure might.  
Through countless trials, I tread and fight,

Many days begin without much cheer,
but my day will be what I make of it.
The world today seems steeped in fear,
and the news is troublesome I’ll admit.

Negative people I generally try to avoid, 
as they unintentionally tarnish my day.
That starts my search for Doctor Fraud,
And the positive words he’ll have to

Premium MemberTHERE'S A BRIGHTER SON EVEN IN THE RAIN

Today A beautiful sunshine;
And it's gonna be a beautiful day;
Even if it rains ? ;

Soul energy beautiful horizons;
Awaken joyous even if I pain;
For my Father's heart arms;
So Graciously subtains;

So if the sun is covered;
And it falls down the rain;
There's a brighter ?? better Son;

Parting the newed horizon;
No weather storm nor heated night; Nor frozen season

I'm not too sure of who I am to be, nor am I sure of whom you are. I only hope your able to see that I'm not a shinning star.

I'm not the answer to your questions, nor the means to justify the end. But, I can be a shoulder to cry on and an

Like the Morning Light

Like the morning light, your path does glow,
Brighter like the new sun, its radiance to show.
For God has gone ahead, paving your way,
With goodness and mercy that follow each day.

Angels assigned, to guard and protect,
In your earthly journey, every step you tread.
Ascending and descending on your portal so clear,
Their presence, a blessing, they dispel all

Premium MemberBrighter Than the Sun

His voice in the morning,
Before the coffee and donuts
Beneath the hint of a hopeful thirst,
Breathing light, soft and silent,
Flowing through the whisper of his suggestion,
Reflecting the beautiful, the special
All the reasons that I know what it is
To love without conditions, to love faithfully
To love like I’ve never seen the sorrow or shame,
To love like I’ve

Premium MemberA Little Brighter

He discovered love when she walked in…and her smile lit up the room.
He felt it on their walks together 
when he noticed the brightness of the sun, 
and the dazzling array of colors of the flowers all in bloom.

He understood love whenever she left a room…and he was on his own
when he noticed nothing was

Premium MemberBrighter Days Ahead

Sometimes successes come easy
Wins effortlessly landing in our lap
Other times it’s an endless struggle 
Feeling stuck in a never ending trap 

Comfortable to keep on keeping on
Wishing circumstances improve
Too scary to think about changing 
So just stick in the same ol' groove 

But courage beginning to bubble up
Readying to break free from our rut

Premium MemberA Song For Brighter Days



Slashing your gullible heart, they suddenly,
read you no more?

You go, sit, on warm sand, loving the warmth 
of the welcoming seashore.

A forlorn pup, with a sweet drooping head, 
and limp, comes galloping your way.

You embrace him, both of you, now dreaming 
of beaming, brighter days!

It’s a secret code you share, that only broken 
hearts really

Fear In the Moonlight

The night is very dark with a slight summer breeze,
A shimmer of moon peeking through the branches of trees.
I hear another’s footsteps in the distance from behind,
Hopefully the owner is a person that’s very kind.
As I continue to walk faster, a pounding in my heart,
The moon gets brighter as the clouds start to part.
I turn

I hope and pray
Was brighter
And may your slumber be well rested
And that you were extra blessed
May He bless you, as Well?

The sun is struggling to make an appearance,
To break through thick blankets of dark clouds
Early spring flowers note its disappearance,
Observing the day garbed in bleak shrouds.

Breaking through thick blankets of dark clouds
Mother Nature suggests waiting a day or so
Observing the day garbed in bleak shrouds,
Reminding us this is how April weather can go.

Mother Nature suggests
