Bloom

Like a sunflower reaches for the sun
I reach for the light of a full moon
When no one watered me
I planted my feet in the grass
and prayed for rain

Words Of Encouragement

God is with you
Be at peace
Each morning
Is beautiful
Be a witness
Don't be afraid
Failure is part of the goals
Go ahead fearlessly
I am with you.

Courage

It takes courage to
Overcome failure
Failure is like a
Kick in the gut
But you know that
If you don’t have
The courage to try again
You won’t ever win
In life

I went to church with a hurting heart this morning
and what I encountered was encouragement,
love, and a balm to my sagging spirit
I am thankful for the love I was shown

Disability

My disability might impede me, physically, 
but my mind runs rampant, 
even if my spine abandons me sometimes, 
my spirit always flames bright.

Words 3

Would you really want to hurt someone
Or would you rather be an encouragement
Remember what you speak it has power
Do you know the true power of criticism
Speak but use power of encouragement

Always spread good cheer 
Be the inspiration
Use words of encouragement 
Enlighten your vision 
Uplift and empower 
Strike with a tender force
Fulfill your obligation 
Be that power source

The Bracelet

A bracelet, which once promised so much
Breaks, without force or encouragement
And falls to the wooden floor.
Never before have I felt so free.
And so, as links corrode as hearts do,
We break too.

Tyburn Fever

Icky, 
sneezy, 
sleazy, 
ugly
virus called Cold. Icky, sneezy luck.
Free me from this sleazy, ugly yuck!
