Like everything worthwhile in life...
It's best to put the effort forward.
Pays to elevate our expectations.

A flower can bloom just like your life.
You just open up and make the sacrifice.
Don't ever feel like you want to quit,
Because in life, you will start to reminisce.
Always be patient; let your life start to revolve.
Never settle for the unknown; always stay involved.
Be quick to listen, not quick to anger.
Don't go down that road if you sense the danger.
Let your life hover, and let it gravitate.
Take a step to the ground and start to meditate.
Get familiar with yourself and love who you are,
Because that blooming flower in your life will take you so far.
Be proud of yourself and let your light shine.
Remember, the world is yours, but it's only a matter of time.

We have all been created to experience pain and joy.
Every day should be like opening a brand-new toy.
There are thieves who set out to destroy your day.
To ward off these evils all that is needed is to prey.
Let no anger, no poison, or fear take away your peace.
Pray, for it is the squeaky wheel that gets the grease.
Let no battle hinder your life that you are not to be in.
If someone brings bitterness into your life, return a grin.
We all were created to soar the skies like an eagle.
We were magnificently created; we are eternally regal.
All of God's creations have a destiny, a purpose, and a reason.
We are part of the source, part of the Universe, here for a season.
''Hello, Goodbye''
More to come
Less Imma take
Sure to go
Sure to go
Away from the life of limp
Taking off, won’t hesitate
Quick you know
Quick you know
Don’t take the mind of me
I’m no longer meant to wait
Going on now
Going on now
You slow, move to the side
I got moves to make
Don’t slow me down
Don’t slow me down
We ain’t friends we ain’t foes
Passabyers in the mist
Hello, goodbye
Hello, goodbye
If you can’t give what I give;
denying reciprocity, then I insist
Fly right on by
Fly right on by
Debra Ann Harris
Elevate my soul
And touch my heart with your love
Cos I can see the fire in your eyes
So don't say no to my mood
Without you joy is far
Happiness becomes scares
Togetherness turns invisible
Life is amazing with love
And am sure you know
So satisfy my soul with your love
Cos I can see the fire in your eyes
And truly this
Elevate my soul
Elevate my soul
I see you love me
Despite you play hard to get
This moves of yours I already know
Is not difficult for me to see
How hard you want to see me coming
And longing for your love
You can lie no more
Cos you don't know what next to do
You already knew how long
You stretch my heart
You are all I need
Now that you are here
I swear from my heart you
Elevate my soul
There are times when,
We are visited by unwanted circumstances in our life;
When we are unaware of the milestones coming in our way;
When we are down to our spirits, all succumbed by the engrossed darkness in our life;
When we are none, but puppets in the hands of time;
Yes! in such moments we can greet the darkness with a wise smile;
We can keep on travelling and collect milestones in the adventure;
We can elevate our spirits and conquer all our fears;
And we can run holding the hands of time and welcome victory in the journey of life.
Destined to elevate
I now understand my reality I create
A goddess of the earth
Gifted with mitochondrial Eve DNA from birth
Inhale
Exhale
Aspire to excel
Movements of my universe, I manipulate
Principles of Attraction, everything constantly vibrates
Studying the 7 laws
Every effect has to have a cause
I change the paradigm
The vibrations climb
Speaking my truth into existence
Stirring away from negative interference
Destined to elevate
At night I heavily contemplate
My powers have become uncanny
Bearing the boldness of my Great-Aunt Fanny
Militant and fierce like Queen Nanny
Seeking the path of fulfilling my greatness
I stand courageous
Destined to elevate
My reality I create
1/3/20
The smoke has left but I still feel panic in my lungs; elevate me to an elevation where I can stand myself
Anxiety quakes through this empty vessel as I register another sleepless night at this altered height
Lifting the haze in pursuit of something pure- In search of stability without the assistant of a substance
Elements of middle-age hysteria cloud this already dissolving youth
Weed through the contamination of this mind, compartmentalize every toxic thought behind these eyes and realize you don’t need anything to feel whole or revitalized
A plan devised to cauterize the feelings of withdrawal, hold the torch and guide with love
A high I could never reach on my own

A Wife Can Elevate Life
Get In with a Bad Crowd,
A Wife May Talk Sense Into You,
Or Push Your Ego To Be Loud,
On Ben Pelet's Wife To The Rescue,
Korach Listened As His Mate Howled,
Result, Earth's Gaping Mouth Did Swallow,
Korach, And On, Meaning Mourn, Was Hallowed,
Feeding Ego, Machlokes, Is Mere Empty, Hollow,
Listening, On Became Healthy, Not Sallowed,
Saved By His Woman Who Turned Barren To Fallow,
Bad Men Called on On, He Could Have Followed...
In Stormy Seas, Ships Survive By The Mermaid on the Prow,
Guiding Us Hapless Sailors, Wives Are Calm Endowed,
When Left to Our Own, Men Surely Capsize The Scow!

L-ong night and cold chill
A-re slowly fading away;
D-ark shadows disappear,
Y-our birth brightens the day.
L-ight of the morning sun
Y-earns to shine on you;
N-ew morn has broken to share the beautiful view.
B-ehold the glowing dawn,
E-vening shadows have faded;
N-o more mist and haze,
A-fter the rain is terminated.
V-ile weather has turned
I-nto one season best;
D-usk and twilight are gone,
E-ndorsing the time of
Z-est.
R-eflect and contemplate
O-r ponder on chances of success;
D-ecide after careful thought,
R-ealize the consequences.
I-nspire your heart and mind,
G-o for the Almighty's will;
U-se it to strengthen your soul,
E-levate your life's
Z-eal.
