Quote Prompt: "How is it so easy for you to be kind to people?" he asked... Milk and honey dripped from my lips and I answered, "cause people have not been kind to me." -rupi kaur
She was pouring honey into my blossoms
I stopped her and asked,
Several times your roses have been looted
How can you still afford to open your lovely gates
I have only two options, she said,
To go crazy, kill the looters and kill myself
Or better bring out more roses
After all I am a woman

Bring out the best in you,
Never get intimidated;
Face the odds courageously,
And you shall be rewarded.
Just always keep on going,
And never be unmindful;
Stretch your arms for the goal,
Until you are successful.
You have the hidden talent,
To the world hesitate not to show;
Share it to inspire others,
Making them grow and glow.
Yes, you don't have to be timid,
Nor you have to be afraid;
We are created by God Almighty,
Living in the same world He made.
But forget not to ask for His help,
His wisdom and power are so true;
Let Him guide and direct your life,
He shall bring out the best in you.
The way she smiles puts the brightest star to shame
Her essence is out of this universe
Trapped within her aura, I became weak to the knees
Constantly illuminated, she is seen from afar
My world became a mere fantasy the day I met her
Bring Out Your Dead
One by one the dead shall rise
And the burning fires within their eyes,
Shall show their hatred for humanity.
Their deaths have taken away their sanity.
They will hunt us down and take our lives,
Down to their living Hell of screams and fire.
Torture, pain and no way out.
Welcome to Hell. You shall fulfill Satan’s desires.
One by one the people burn,
Or have their bodies buried underground.
But from the ashes of the dead,
The phoenix shall rise once again.
But fear the phoenix, for what it brings with it,
The zombies and ghosts and all sorts of ghoulies.
The land of the dead, was once full of life,
Now the life has been drained away,
By the Hell that is fire.

Bringing out the best in others is one of the most rewarding tasks an individual
can ever undertake.So,today,try to bring out the best in those who cross your
path.
The work maybe hard and the pay is sometimes low...
But you'll always be welcomed wherever you go.
Bringing out the best in others is a gift divine...
And it's like the reward for a miner in his secret mine.
You dig and you dig and you find a nugget or two...
And polishing these nuggets will be the greatest thing
you'll ever do.
You'll have fun and bless someone too...
You and God working,blessing others through you.

Who am I, where am I from
I’m a girl who ancestors are from Mexico, Puerto Rico, and Panama
See me I don’t know the whole enchilada
My zodiac sign has to do with Aqua
I walk up to you and say, “ Hola amigo, como esta”
You reply to me and say,” Muy bien y tu.”
I say, “Bien mucho gracias.”
I can’t really have a conversation in Espanol
Because I only know boquito
Como te llamas, do you know mine
Me llamas est Preciosa
Me gusta el color Amarillo
You can walk up to me and bring out the mexican in me
Bring out the rice and beans
The whole encilada
Bring out the de le manana
I’ll get back to ya
If I saw you in Puerto Rico I would say
Bueno? Que traes or oye tocayo
I will introduce you to my traditional food
Burritos
Enchiladas
Bolillos
Carne abada
You bring out the Mexican in me
You bring out the best in me
So, just leave the rest to me
We'll sail on a cruise
Afterward's we'll say our I do's
Because baby, you bring out the best in me
So, just leave the rest to me
I'll make all our plans for a honeymoon
Moonscapes, quiet escapes, landscapes, to happen soon
We'll take our vows by the ocean
Big crashing waves down in motion
I'll wear black
and you wear hues of pink for slack
We'll have white doves fly
We'll offer our love to the sky
It'll be for forever
You're my friend and lover steady as a river
Rivers, seas, oceans, bays, ponds, lakes tell a story of our love
On our ocean cruise we'll share our love trove
To do or not
Let's go for it and tie the knot!
