When hope sinks and the light in the valley grows dim, look in the direction where you are coming from, and where you are at now and consider where you would have been, if you had not made that move. The process was hard and long and you made many enemies as you travel on but a miracle burst out of the night and daylight began to sing your song.
Do you remember the time when no one was on your side, and the sharks surround you but the universe covers you. And when business was down and no one was coming to the town except for hustlers and news makers, the market fell flat and destiny was riding on your bare back; nothing positive was in the news, but you kept ploughing on until you could sing a brand new song; and all those that deserted you, came back to haunt you, everyone wanted a slice of the cake and the lined up in droves by the gate. And I said to myself live is worth living.
The road you are on is a strong one, the road you are on is built with solid steel, you can test it in the fire when you make the new deal, there is nothing better than the one you have here, they will be crowding the shore and everyone will be asking for more, there is nothing better beyond your door.
I will put a price tag on it and ships will be lining up for miles on the sea, and the trucks on the other side will flood the city for my steel.
The road I am on is flooded with hope and the multitudes is loading on the boats, there is no turning back now as this is only chance to experience a new life and I am ready for the adventurous ride.
This is a solid boon and I will see you soon.
First and foremost is you
Yes you, all parts of you and gratitude as your plus one for a better attitude, as you well know
Better tag on hard to that grounding of yours,
Solid footing firmly planted to the ground,
Mind geared up to solder to them goals
Stay rooted and aligned, this is your time
Stillness betters focus always, so eyes on the prize, it's game on
First for the count is one to love, your own self perfect place to start
Another is one to look forward to, better days to come your motivation
Then there's the one for you to do right now, here this instant
Embrace the present moment sis, don't just sit and watch life sail past you
Day in day out, breath in, breath out, one day at a time
Mind on daily mantra mode: keep head down,nose clean, eyes always glued to the prize
then proceed to hit repeat
one step two steps, no more back and forth
fall only forward if you can, a crawl to the finish line still counts as a win
First one foot back, then one in front
keep it moving, eyes stay glued to the prize
ears shut to the noise, chin up, rise up, shoulders back, left foot, right foot
choices, engage free will, choices, always wise to the choice
This battle yes, that one you let go and watch from the sidelines if you like
Easy does it, slow the pace down, just trust in the process cos this one is timeless
Rein in the need to fill in the void,look inside you, yes inside I said, stay still hold focus, stand still, your truth to be found inside you sis
Put your back into it, marrow to bone, from inside to outside, soon you will make it, you know you can do this,
You got it your magic key, key to the lock, unlock the secrets of self mastery, that's right bout to master the self now, self governance yea, secrets reveled, life on self rule, marching, finally marching to the beat of your own drum, left right, left right
Ears shut to the noise and eyes glued to the prize as always
First one step in, then two steps,chin up, one day at a time
Then proceed to hit repeat!

How much is this duvet? Elise asked.
I found a tag that said two hundred and seventeen dollars and ninety-five cents.
Not bad, she said.
Is she nuts?
Another tag was attached to that tag. It said $895.95.
What is that for? She asked me. “The rest of the duvet?”
This is a really upscale store. Not sure why we working girls are in it.
Maybe because three of us “girls” are retired?
I began to point out the crappiest stuff.
Saying nice things like “I wouldn’t pay nineteen cents for that in a thrift store.”
Guess how much this ugly thing is? Elise asked me. We were howling now.
Sales help was following us around “offering to help us.” Ha!
The chair I liked the best was seventeen hundred on sale from twenty-four hundred.
Is that dollars or cents? I asked the sales lady. She tried to smile but couldn’t.
Rita was rubbing a chair’s material. There was a price tag on it and another on the seat.
What do you think the $200 price tag is for? She asked.
“That’s what it costs to rub the material,” I told her. “Cough up.”
Our friend Susan was keeping out of our way, pretending she did not know us.
There’s an
Energy tag on my big toe
“Zapped to death:” it says
I’m a “John Doe”
A lightening bolt
Sent my soul a jolt
Into the next dimension
Permanently disabled and
Unable to be grounded, you see
Living life on the edge can be fatal
I don’t even know who I am
I think I’m fried forever
But I can tale you this
I still have destiny's will
I’ve felt the power of the gods
I’m all charged up; that was some vitamin pill
Electricity is 1 + 1 = 1
Electricity is one by one to freedom
I feel it deeply in my bones
In the gap in between gods’ ganglia
Perhaps, I do got stinky bits for brains
I’m letting go now
Finally, slipping into oblivion
I finally remember
Yes, I remember
who I am.
Do you remember when love was more than a four letter word
And holding hands walking down the street
Doing a matinee on a Saturday
Feeling the rhythm of the music in your feet
Playing baseball on an abandoned lot
And how the girls could turn your head
Sneaking that cigarette behind the house
Getting your first kiss and turning red
A nickel bought a candy bar
A penny bought a picture of a movie star
Go for a Sunday ride in the family car
A baseball glove dangling from your handle bar
Do you remember when Mom read us a nursery rhyme
Hey kids, what time is it? It's Howdy Doody Time
The Falcon and Shadow were fighting crime
You could find anything in the Five and Dime
In the drug store, you could get a cherry coke
The smell of the bus when it left all that smoke
Playing chase tag on the street at night
Running through fields, flying a kite
Picking flowers for Mom on the way home from school
Meeting your classmates at the community pool
School shopping right before Labor Day
Saving your money by putting pennies away
In spite of the hardships and all of the strife
Honesty was a way of life
We grew inside from what we learned
We didn't accept it if it wasn't earned
Pep rallies before the football game
We knew each shop and the owner by name
Do you remember when life was innocent
Do you ever wonder where it went?
Our story is wild style graffiti
’We fell in love then we fell in love again.’
thrown up on an urban wall for eternity;
We could write legal but chose illegally,
bombed the building with expression;
Our story is wild style graffiti;
Inspired by Love’s rebellious personality
etched a passionate confession;
thrown up on an urban wall for eternity;
Fairytale of daredevils painted artfully
a legend spoken of now and then;
Our story is wild style graffiti;
Writers personify nonconformity
relishing a dangerous artistic break in
thrown up on an urban wall for eternity;
Masterpiece matching soulmates intensity
may have our tag on a spot up in Heaven;
Our story is wild style graffiti
thrown up on an urban wall for eternity.
I was shopping in my local store
when I saw a square glass case,
it had a price tag on it
but was full of empty space.
I spoke to the assistant
who looked at it with pride,
I said, it has a price tag
but there is nothing inside.
She said it's very special
and of course you have to pay,
you don't see many places
with nothing on display.
It seems to be quite popular
you find it everywhere,
even at the customs
most have nothing to declare.
You can find it in any shop
if you have time to spare,
there is always someone coming out
saying they bought nothing there.
Nothing is a funny thing
it is not there at all,
but countries go to war
over nothing, as I recall.
If you spend all your money
you still have nothing left to show,
and when you die
you always take it with you when you go.
To some it's a religion
which really is quite clever,
for when you come to think of it
nothing lasts forever.
The pink polka-dot nightgown, made you look like a funny clown. Wrong tag on the gift box, my husband really needs socks. On your face you wore a silly frown.

I Want To Take Their Sadness Away
I do not understand the pressures of life
That can bring a person to the point of ending their life
I know times are hard and burdens are great
But please do not let your life end for peaks sake
The sadness I hear brings my heart to a hurt
If someone is feeling this sadness, red flag, alert
You are the director of what you want and need
Always get back up and tune into succeed
To give up is to let the negative win the battle
You are stronger that this, stand up and tackle
Turn yourself into a help center, at least do that
Saving yourself is what we are looking at
One by one we make a difference on this earth
You can't put a price tag on what your life is worth
Tomorrow is new, another day begins
Live, take flight, spread out your wings
Written by: Debra M. Falgout
Thou art O Lord a unique One,
And I am a value-less nought,
(Sans thee oh what a worthless dot!)
And an object of abject fun!
I've come thence to thee, this to plead:
Be thou Good Lord my life's sole lead
And let me just tag on to thee,
To One-- zeroes like chicks of hen--
In various powers of ten,
This way can we grow, ye and me.
Sans zeros One remains just one,
Sans One, zeros are next to none.
This way it may sound a wee bit selfish,
But so-how’s cooked in this world every dish!!!

Note: Most prayers sound like a bucket list of wishes and wants. Often, they are conditional give and take— if you grant me this O God, I'll do that, so on so forth. This ditty has reduced it to a business deal, no less!
