Pin point your inner weaknesses and faults, then allow yourself room for
improvement and growth. Always remember that a life without change is failure.
Expect only the best from yourself and accept nothing less in return.
Ask God to forgive you for your misdeeds in life and learn to forgive those who have
miss treated you.
Concede nothing when it comes to reaching your goals in life that you have set for
yourself, but learn when to accept your failures with dignity and humility.
Exude Gods love in all that you do and always remember that he places more value
on the love you have for others than the love you have for yourself.

Gtting up and dusting myself off and looking at myself in the mirror and finally seeing
something positive . I put my favorite shoes one an head out the door with a smile
on my face and my eyes sparkiling. I realized life is way to short to waste it because
before you know it it will be time for me to say goodbye and no one is going to get
in my way. I will look at all the downers and say sorry but bye. This is going to make
my life and myself a whole lot happier... well life here i come...
Small town boy at heart, that is who I was,
that is who I am.
Small town boy may move to the city,
but the heart stays put in that small town.
Small town life is great, as any one,
whoever grew up in one will tell you.
Persons living there are more
willing to help each other.
Small town life is so simple
and so care free.
Life in a small town is slow paced,
not getting things done right now or
else.
People move away to the city,
that is why they stay small towns,
that is a good thing.
Mark my words someday
am moving back to
become a small town boy
once again.

Serene Night
The ingress of celestial shadows above,
Around the surface of material structure.
Swallowing the brightness of day,darkness exchange,
And snaffling away what once deemed spate.
The soprano gradually creeping into solitude,
When the movers of life have journeyed in trance.
You enveloped the colour sheets in purple glimmers,
And sunlight bask diminished like game of solitaire.
Only the baste of soot creeps bated along,
The basket of life sleeps sinking prolong.
Of the capacious loom with loops of inapt tendencies,
And the cape of rest cresting the creole crevice.
When slumber is far taken and numbers regain,
And dews pervade the face of burgeoning light.
The beckon of bed and breakfast treat delight,
Will welcome the led of tracks from dusk till dawn.
Happiness
Searching for happiness in a world of sad,
Makes living life a game for the glad.
For those in the know, true happiness is here,
Around our lives, forcing out all fear,
For the endless searcher, his life may be drained,
True happiness he’s missing, his mind not yet trained.
Search not, young searcher, for it’s only in vain,
Happiness, true happiness, is like April rain.
It showers our lives, rewards us our hopes,
Enlighten our eyes, no longer to grope.
It bathes us in beauty, no more to frown,
True happiness, true happiness, God’s earthen crown!
ive become to hate how life is just so predictaable!!
i have no addiction to anything but the boredom that has become my situation.
Yes i love being there but i dont thrive on anything.
Ive become the women i hate, the ordinary and consistent.
They lay their lives on the line and refuse to walk it drunkenly!
Laugh out loud is beyond them, Profanities arent even heard of it!
Wheres the curiosity, the blatant disreguard for any form of restrictions and rules.
They lack those beautiful moments where everything could be falling apart and yet your
smiling.
Yes those arent the ways to a life of success but what is life without memories, without
experience, without fun!
Unrelenting and stubborn, i refuse to be the stepford wife of idiocy.
Here i am world, like it or not, im not going to change...and why should i?
I mean, its not like i killed anyone...tee hee
Things will never be the same
If only I can feel this pain
A solitary face
Stripped of all its love and grace
For your freight train shows no sign of stalling
As I am thrown to the ground , barely crawling
Timeously evolving into a state of flux
Translated into plain English
I think life my life sucks
So I take luck as my weapon
If life me should threaten
and pray for the day
My blues fade to grey
There are no guarantees in life
save one…and none of us
certainly not me and possibly not you
no one can outrun the call of their destiny
once upon a time is a saying
created only by the lawyers
Don’t rely on fortune cookies
as the reason to quit your job
Eat spicy Chinese food
out of a carton ……with chopsticks...more often
sitting on a park bench talking with a stranger
say these words daily
thank you……..please….and I love you
as if they actually mattered to you
Draw your own lines carefully in the sand
and defend them with all that you are
Drink hot coffee from a bowl
hold onto the one you love with both hands
whatever you do in life do it with intense passion
never do what your enemy
expects you to do...ever
live well …love better
Dance and sing your heart out every single day
Live….just live as large as you can
Remember the Alamo
Irish
Like a moth to its destined flame,
She led me down unbound.
To a life unknown and heartfelt, to a life deserved of a restrained being
Kept to a selfish mortal existence.
Her light of life shined over everything,
And it was brighter than the star of stars.
For all she was, she was everything,
The centre of a fantasied universe.
Where the sun shone on her face,
Where the shadows had no place,
And her distance was her only collapse.
One's soul is a price not worthy to capture this state of bliss.
It would take your forever, your eternity, your humanity.
And it would still not be enough.
Like a moth to its destined flame,
She led me down, entirely unbound.
TODAY IS THE DAY WE REJOICE YOUR LIFE AND SHARE YOUR LOVE. TODAY IS THE DAY
GOD GAVE YOU LIFE AND BLESS US ALL. ALTHOUGH YOUR NOT HERE; WE WOULD LIKE TO
SEND YOU A SPECIAL BIRTHDAY CHEER. YOU ARE FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS AND FOREVER
IN OUR MINDS; YOU WERE A GIFT; BLESSED AND DEVINE; YOU WERE OUR MOTHER
SPECIAL AND KIND. HAPPY BIRTHDAY IN HEAVEN WHERE LIFE IS WORTH LIVIN.

Last born of three
With loving and caring parents
Although through life
I could not see
As I grew up
To belong was my need
Rejected by some
Concentrating only on me
Seeing what is not
Was my deal
Fearing the unknown
Was all so real
Each head is a world
And mine was in turmoil
The power I had
Was shortchanged and soiled
I did not fit in
So I made it a point
To fit in with all
Even if it meant hurting me
When at the time
I didn’t realize
That what I felt
Was a normal life
They could not adjust
To my caring and empathy
They all thought me weak
And saw me with sympathy
My family is all to me
And being there is all I need
To finally see that all the problems
Don’t lie within me
Yes I kept to my self
And I hoped that no one saw
All the sadness
That came through me
Yet life is short
So I make the best of it
Now knowing that
This life is what I make of it
Life goes by day by day
And I now enjoy
Waking up every day
Full of love and joy
I now know how to love
Who to love and why
I can truly say
I LOVE and ACCEPT me!!
A Diamond in the Rough.

The very first time I saw him
I thought he looked sublime
Never dreaming in all the world
That one day he would be mine,
He was not what you'd call 'a head turner'
He didn't stand out in a crowd
But in my eyes, Morris was gorgeous
When I was with him, I always felt proud
Life with him was never at 'snails pace'
We spent many an hour cruising town
And although he lived life 'in the fast lane'
He never, once, let me down
Always there, exactly when needed
On him I could always depend
Through time we became unseparable
He was a solid, reliable friend,
We would visit all maner of places
He was full of drive and vim
With Morris I found the freedom
I would never have known but for him
Then one day, it was all over,
I knew life wouldn't be the same
That nothing on earth would fill the void
Of never seeing Morris again,
It broke my heart when we parted
Although I knew he had to go
And I wept, as I handed the stranger the keys
To drive away 'Morris'.....my metro!!
Your smiling face, brings me joy
Like that of heavens voice
You make each and everyday better than the one before.
You give my life meaning that no one can deny
You make my life so full
And my soul soar so high.
My little girl so beautiful, so full of life
The sun shines brightly as you wake
Wishing you such happiness and a life devoid of strife.
Go outside and play today
Make believe is always fun
Pretend the trees can carry you away to a land with a candy sun.
Please don’t let this cruel world get you down
Or fill you with its troubles
Keep your heart pure and true and never let them see you frown.
My little girl, so special to me
Make your life as happy as can be
And keep your heart so happy and free.
