When life is hard and seems to bring you down
Seek gratitude for anything at all
Find something funny to erase the frown
Look up at the sky, so you do not fall
Imagine that you are in a free space
Seek gratitude for anything at all
Release feelings, create, in a safe place
Better things are within, that can be found
Imagine you are in a free space
Find the beautiful sights that are around
It may not be easy, but can be done
Better things are within that can be found
Do not forget, you deserve to have fun
Restrictions don’t have to get in the way
It may not be easy, but can be done
Precious time is a gift, wrapped in today
When life is hard and seems to bring you down
Restrictions don’t have to get in the way
Find something funny to erase the frown

A strange dream....
I look out of my window at marshmallow clouds.
Drifting across the sun, blotting out daylight stars.
The moon shines bright in the dull sunlight.
As a piano black sea. Drenches the ground.
One cloud resembles a Unicorn. My favourite pony.
I race outside. Alone and lonely.
I lie on the ground and the rain meets my skin.
And I laugh as it tickles me as the thunder begins.
The tinkling of the ivories the sound of cymbals.
As the lightning roars and the ground it trembles.
Suddenly I awaken from my deep sleep.
and look at my glass unicorn watching over me!
It was all just a dream! I fall back to sleep.
Back into a world which makes me weep.
Watching butterflies being chased by cats.
Flying out over a gold pond and high into a red sky.
Dreams are strange as you see never things.
Dogs and frogs flying with wings.
Or fish with rods pulling out men.
Then taking out the hook and banging their heads.
Why is the inspector checking their licences a hen?
And still I toss and turn in my bed.
And the hen laughs at me and pelts me with an egg.
I run away into a blue meadow. With yellow lizards.
And see a beautiful girl who changes into Eddie Izzard.
I wake with a start and a fast beating heart.
And realise life is hard. And has no reward.
So enjoy your strange dreams. And don’t have nightmares.
Unless it is a horse with a horn. A beautiful white unicorn..
On the Rock River he was a lifeguard,
Saved 70 plus lives, which made him proud, happy too
Later in life he was divorced, even shot, life is hard
Then Alzheimer's got him, no way to rescue.
He saved lives before he learned to lead them
He was governor, president, now it’s all a blur
How many of our youth remember Ronald Reagan
Alzheimer’s of a generation can also occur.
Sending Marines into Lebanon was his biggest mistake
240 blown up by explosives in a truck
Responsibility's risk is in what you can break
There was nowhere else to pass the buck.
Reagan heart was in the right place
of good reforms he did plenty
He did his best, but if only he knew
In the fog only hindsight is 20/20.
What is life?is it lying to people that are counting on you being there for them? Is it flinching their back and talking about them even if they are right there with you? Is it having someone you just met looking at you and them calling you their friend and then they up and leave you hanging? Why must life.be this darn hard and painful?
Life is hard, life is painful, life isn't always easy as pie.. but people always say, hang in there and deal with it..well sometimes I don't want to deal with being hurt all the time, when I find out I have crossed the line, again, because I wasn't taught how to obey boundaries, and to respect others, how can I be held accountable for something I never was taught.
My shell I want to shed, but yet it's a safe place to bed, for I was there for most of my life, it's all I knew for most of my young and adult life. Shall I come out to the world and see if I get hurt or stay inside the shell and say oh well, the choice is hard, for either way I go, I will be ridiculed.
I see an bald eagle soaring high above, he is so free, soaring high in the clear blue sky, they are liking for a safe place to nest,maybe I will offer it my shell, because at least something that majestic meaningful, will have a safe home, because I have decided to leave this earth, for life is about being 're_birthed..
I read that RIP could also mean Return if Possible,
I am such a fan of the impossible.
I can imagine the night you took flight,
Soaring up to the sky so bright.
Fleeing from the pressure and pain,
Finally free, and you finally feel sane.
Up to the arms of those who left us,
Surrounding you and making a fuss.
You glanced back and shuddered,
As your eyes fell on your crying mother.
Your dad crying by her side,
They both feel as if they also died.
In one big sweep,
You took the leap.
“I must return,” you said, “and I’m taking that card,
Going back even though life is hard.
Returning to the two
That loved me and took care of me as I grew—
My mother and father,
I love you both like no other.”
“Wait for me until eternity,
I will be back at the first opportunity.
Please hold on to each other,
As you must be there for my sister and brother.
They are hurting and missing me too;
We will meet again, that much is true.
Stick together like glue;
Your baby girl
Will be soaring with the birds in swirl.”
He blessed me with hope
When my feelings told me
I didn’t have a chance
That misery was my condition
And I’d never see the wisdom
Of giving from my heart
A part of my kindness and grace
Knowing that my prayers
Would somehow bring my faith
All the assurance that I needed
To just let go and keep believing
He blessed me with courage
When I wasn’t feeling very strong
Almost like I was completely wrong
And didn’t have a leg to stand on
Because my heart was weak, so weak
It felt like I couldn’t breath
Like something inside me stirred
In the darkness and dread, the fear
That awakened my yearning for
A sense of serenity and strength
That comes from giving in to Him
Leaning on His power and love
Without ever doubting His grace
He is the One who can lift me
From the darkest of the shadows
The dimness of the bluest tear
The night of that piercing dread
The feelings that bring terror
Beckoning me to nightmares
And coloring my hopes in blackness
He blessed me with fulfillment
Serenity amid the chaotic
Joy when all seems lost
Inspiration when life is hard
A melody when I don’t have a song
Light when the night is so bleak
Beauty when gloom seeks me
He blessed me with a everlasting love
The kind that brings true joy
And wisdom from His home above
The kind that grows truth and kindness
Laughter amid the haunting despair
Gentleness when all else seems futile
Friendship that will never fail
The miracle of a faith that is alive
Living in the soul, coloring all the life
In sincerity and wonder, elation
That comes from knowing
This God of the bible, the same One
My whole life and hope is based on
Will someday welcome me home
To the heaven where He is waiting for me!
He blessed me with His Son
And His love lingers on and on
Smile Exercises for the blues
Smile, even when your heart feels blue
Smile, even a straight one will do
Smile, even when the ground is shaking
Smile, even when your heart is breaking
Smile, widely, smile broadly, chase the greys away
Smile, in the sun, or in the wind, or even on rainy days
Smile, when you feel like shouting
Smile, when you feel like being still
Smile, when life is hard to bear
Smile, when its hard to care
Smiling when the world seems dark,
Does something to your heart
Smile, when the world seems terrifying
Smile, when you feel like crying
The simple action of your smile,
changes a day from dark to grey.
Smile at a stranger or a friend,
Smile with a shiver, or with a bend.
Smiling is something that I hope will never ever end.
Liquid City
Wordless letters
To send to my heart
Why can't I see you
When you're happy not just when life is hard
In the breathe of feeling
Haunting black raven
that comes from a warm grasp of desires or a very dark corner of your mind
Oh to become a better reflection
Better than the girls that smile
No time to get to outer space
Running wild saying yes yes until the end of rhymes
They call the end of tragedies
A tale end of a summer breeze
A sneeze and a shiver
Shaking hands until there's violence
treasured reality hits and misses
If fond memory
Hides the ripples of the water reflected by the sun reveals
A visitor in a different town
Sending small gifts of nods and smiles
Sending offers to see you again
A small gift of a smile
Finds its way through paths ofwhat is good and what is odd
Embrace the odd
Your memories of the sun
courage blind ambition
Under the nightfall The milk of the full moon
Strike forward with the weapons which ground you
Dig and dig more embracing the new
Fantasy on the 9th floor
In the flora and the fauna
Some hidden place doesnt remain to stay and represent what you once knew
Less than 10 miles away and a 10 minute story
To escape yourself
Into the surreal phantoms of floating cotton balls in dandelion fields
In close control
The deafening heart beat in one hand birth and in the other hand destruction of man
time always calls on me
Potential threats of my release
How fast we'd burn
Nothings real and nothings fake
How fast we would choose money
How late it is for that concern
I exist because of you
I hold fond memories
Just to say those were those days
Things seem so unfamiliar
Except the quickening of time in the summer
I want to be a visitor
But in a different town
~Let Go And Let God~
(Enclosed Rhyme)
Life is much richer since I know you
What a marvelous God I serve
You give us more than we deserve
You are with us every night and day
Let go and let God have his way
He's aware of all hardships we face
God also knows the outcome of race
Give your problems to him as you pray
Life is hard but with him we can be strong
Put on the armour of God everyday
Hand him your cares as you pray
Ask him for deliverance all day long
Seek him and you will find
God is everywhere in sight
So hang on to him with all your might
And just believe in your heart and mind.

I will keep my head up with pride.
I'm a human and I'm fine.
Life is hard and very scary,
But I manage to prove it daily
That I'm tough and I don't care.
Little beings around us fly.
Others move slowly on the ground.
To survive is all they want.
They succeed, and all is fine.
Animals are abundant.
All they do is play and eat.
If they are free and do what they want,
They are happy on this earth.
As we see, there are many ways
To achieve our happiness.
All we need is a bit of strength,
And we will see that life has purpose.
Every human on this earth
Should have peace and plenty of time,
To be loved and to love back.
That, I think, is how to live.
