Even if it feels like your world is crashing down, you can get through this.
You can overcome
By Michelle Morris
05/09/2021
When your world is crashing down,
And you feel like you're imploding,
Stop and take a moment to
Get your breathing under control.
It's seldom as bad as we're
Imagining it to be;
So have faith in the Universe
To set your soul free.
You are tied to nothing that
You are willing to let go;
So take stock of your situation
And let your feelings flow.
Be guided by your angels,
Open your mind and be inspired;
Connect to your higher self,
And let your inner truth reveal the sides.
And as time passes by,
You'll get the hang of it, I'm sure;
You'll grow in experience and confidence,
And have less times of feeling insecure.
Remember that half the battle,
Is what's playing in your mind;
Keep your thoughts good and pure,
And be blessed by heaven's timing.
No matter what the challenge,
You can overcome the tests;
If you focus on being able to do it well,
Your angels will help with the rest.
Let this be a reminder,
There are always rainbows after the storms;
And no matter where you are today,
You can always begin again.
Love and light.

On the old scale of one to ten
Today has been bout a four
Won't explain, just one of those days
Had 'em many times before
To expect every day to be a ten
You're dreaming, it ain't gonna be
Ups and downs are what life's about
Come down from your perch in a tree
This is it from here on in
Must learn to live through the strife
The alternative ain't too appealing to me
Really it's a very small price
To feel the warmth of a summer's day
The crispness of another fall
The bite of yet another winter's day
Then spring, that's the joy it all
When you really take stock of what life's about
It's getting from “A” to “B”
With the least amount of hassle and strife
Just being happy and free
To raise a family and hope you did it right
While building your own little castle
Living and loving as we travel life's roads
Without too much of a hassle
On the old scale of one to ten
If you can say it was eight or better
You've had a good life, better than average
You've successfully balanced the ledger

a Spanish sonnet
Passion thrives on forgiveness, oh my sweet.
Your scorn will reason well to wonder why
I attempt a smile even though your eyes
refuse to cherish blooms laid at your feet.
We need to take stock of trust when we meet;
weeds of abomination poke and pry.
From the overlook, my soul heaves a sigh,
you uproot our relationship with deceit.
Your lie lacked confirmation from the start -
why you would mock or kid, I do not know.
Struggle rose within this admiring heart;
impatience flames and yet I rise with hoe
of love to root out what your two lips thwart.
Each day, sees me at work melting your snow.
I think patience works well to promote passion in love relationships.
Notice the words in italics in the second stanza, flowers bloom there.
Autumn is a time to take stock of all that you have accomplisehd
It is a time to put away your summer wardrobe and switch to sweaters
Close your water taps and shut your windows for at night from now on
The days will be warm but the nights will be cold. Open your heater
It is a time to put away your summer wardrobe and switch to sweaters
Stock up on good books and puzzles for it may be a long winter stay
The days will be warm but the nights will be cold. Open your heater
You now have the freedom to dream and write poetry beneath a safe haven
Stock up on good books and puzzles for it maybe a long winter stay
Great minds are never bored and winter is a time to stay home and create
You now have the freedom to dream and write poetry beneath a safe haven
Send the world into its frenzy and send yourself home to quietude and peace
Great minds are never bored and winter is a time to stay home and create
Autumn is a time to take stock of all that you have accomplished
Send the world into its frenzy and send yourself home to quietude and peace
Close your water taps and shut your windows for at night from now on?

Why are some religions so full of judgmental hate?
Certain groups claim they are right, then point their fingers and negate.
A certain few must go to heaven, and the rest will burn in hell.
I think many will be surprised when they hear that final bell.
A French teacher was beheaded for showing a certain religious cartoon.
A young man was brutally murdered, for the rainbow colors on his balloon.
Women are treated like animals, children are raped and beaten to death.
All in the name of their God, blasphemy spewed in many a breath.
I guess for me, I will just follow my heart.
I’ll do my best to build and not tear apart.
I will protect those I love this I will do with an iron fist.
I’ll do what I can so we can peacefully coexist.
Judge lest ye be judged, please don’t pass judgement on others.
He will judge you with the same measure you judge your brother.
For those of you who notice that speck in others eyes.
Take stock of your own, so you are not one day surprised.

Taking stock of our present inventory
Is great insight and a wealth of wisdom.
It matters not if there's glory; it's our story.
There is no joy in carrying yesterday's burdens.
Yesterday, as the song says, may have
Been an easy game to play , but this is today.
Oh, make no mistake, yesterday has much to say.
We may draw much wisdom from yesterday;
But remember, that was then; this is now.
The weight of yesterday's burdens is different
Today than yesterday. Much of what we once
had has boarded the plane. It has moved on,
and we must do the same.
Indeed, let us take stock of our present inventory,
Appreciate the lessons learned from yesterday;
But ever treasure the now and value the future.

Jumping over the moon and skimming through the stars
Zipping through the galaxy with no wings and without bars
There is nothing to stop me now flying out into space
Following my dreams is not a dream so out of place.
A second chance is not given - often some barely get a first
Its time to take stock of life - and drink it with a dry thirst.
The hours the minutes are counted, but don’t look at the clock
Get out there and follow your dreams in fact - don’t waste time taking stock
A child is born a chid dies it’s happening all around
Enjoy every second of life - while trying to keep your feet still on the ground
We were given a life, a life to live, not everyone is so fortunate
Don’t make them regret your turn - by not daring to leave your gate
Open it run and fly, the opportunities are there
Forget your coat just go for it - for those of us that dare.

How easy it is to get wrapped up
In our own little universe
The cocoon of the daily grind
Of going about our business
Trying to protect our turf
‘Cause we’re more fragile than we let on
We live in fear that aggressors surround us
Propelling us to not forget and not forgive
Yet when we step back and
Focus on the meaning of our life
On the direction we want to take
And the legacy we’ll leave behind
We do want to be kinder and
Contribute to a better world
Not just for us but for mankind
In the end we’ll face our Maker
Standing alone solely accountable
For our deeds and misdeeds
Responsible for our own journey
For how we cultivated our heart
And the goodwill we did impart
When tallied will we have done enough
Or will we be asking for forgiveness
For barely meeting a passing grade
With this in mind and while it’s not too late
Let’s all take stock of what’s in our heart
All start practicing forgiveness
And letting go of the past as we realize
To forgive is to set ourselves free

Death comes to all, including the passing of time
Encapsulated within are lessons and memories
Some are best forgotten that we can learn from
Only if we are willing to learn we may understand
Leaving things as they were cannot keep going on
As we will keep making the same mistakes again
Time to take stock of what we truly want to leave
Is the memories that tomorrow generation knows
Opportunities are bountiful from learning rightly
Nothing can't be undone if there is still the time
Only we can now have the impact of tomorrow's
Free for our future generations to keep moving
Tomorrow, it may not be as bright as it was today
It is still an opportunity for us to make a change
Memories will also change our past mistakes
Even when time is finally over for each one of us
