with your own sweet flair
was sassy as usual
you uplift us Sue
never disappoint
we strive to do better now
you are our leader
Let them think you're not worth it.
Let them think you're not enough.
But know this:
Mediocrity isn't for me.
I dream,
I try,
I speak,
I fly.
My spirit will not run dry
For I am blessed to reach the sky.

Souls arrive on earth compelled to survive dramatic impacts.
Each child of spirit will eventually reach for reasons to be here.
Living finds the soul striving for intangible roots, tangibly real.
Foundations are sought to lead, gift and uplift one’s true self.
Fertile roses grow blind to the forces aligned on their behalf.
Unconscious insistence diminishes man’s resistance to its menu.
Layers of intuitive insight incites and invites us to a spiritual level.
Colors of otherness within us highlight discoveries of all authentic.
Revealing layers of our source may be sought and found in prayer.
Uniting with God grants exciting stances on His supporting plateau.
Mindfulness is the plume of God’s rhythm that rhymes our bloom.
Let the words of my mouth uplift
May they be spiritually endowed
A gift
From the one true God and Savior
Mending broken blue hearts Creator
May your soul rest in perfect peace
May you find refuge as we speak
Guided by Christ our life He leads
May perfect love be enveloping
May you find answers to questions
And insights in the word’s suggestion
For with every teal tongues confession
Holds power to heal seal a blessed one
my phenomenal spirit animals uplift me daily
amazing deer, teaching me patience
astonishing wolf, imploring me to be myself
incredible dog, showing me value of loyalty
marvelous turtle, asking me to pace myself
miraculous dragonfly, reminding me that I am spirit
phenomenal eagle, asking me to fly high
stupendous bumblebee, reminding me of possibilities
unbelievable chameleon, urging my Gemini traits
wonderful dragon, encouraging my voice
wondrous cardinal, reminding me of my spirit guides
each brings their unique persuasions and encouragement to my life.
Is found in God..!
By the Spirit
Through the Son
Gift of Gifts
The all in One.!
There is great purpose and awesome potential within, however the image in a mirror can sometimes become distorted.
When God made you in his image, She made you fearfully and wonderfully which has been divinely reported.
How you see the image in the mirror can be a magnet that pulls you into your glorious destination.
The image you should see is full of love, beauty, compassion, and a complete absent of fear or degradation.
The past reflections may say you're not good enough, you're not strong or smart enough, keeping one in bondage, which is not the image of your absolute royal calling.
Pay no attention to nay sayers and negative connotations concerning your plans and dreams when goodness and mercy follow you, stay focused to avoid stumbling or falling.
See yourself as God sees you, empathic, caring, confidant, compassionate, loyal, and regal royalty you were created to be.
Know that you are preciously valuable and the magnificent forces in you are more powerful than dark principalities that hinder you from being free.
I am downhearted, discouraged, dejected, downcast.
Ms. Positive said “You need to look up, for positives and fast.”
I am disheartened, dismayed, down in the dumps she replied.
Determined to be miserable, hopeless, sad, an expert who cried.
When you take a hand from the ditch
Pulling someone to a sitting position
it is a start
But you should go a bit farther
Listen to their truth
Their story
Their life tale
Encourage and uplift them
Build them up
Help them feel human
Do not stop pulling
until they are in a standing position
Tall and proud of themselves
Better yet, enthuse and infuse them
Until they begin to fly in the air like an eagle
So now they can pull others out of ditches
I am doing the best I can today
I’m kind in spite of people’s dourness
Smiling no matter what, merry and gay
Uplifting strangers and their sourness
Secret weapon is my gorgeous smile
A happy hello cherry and merry
I walk six blocks or maybe a mile
Then I reach my neighbor old man Harry
I know the stories of those in my town
Tended to many in clinic you see
I give them a smile even when they frown
For they are all dear and lovely to me
It brings me up and makes me feel kind
It refreshes my heart, rejuvenates my mind.
Beneath Gray skies
Thrilling view along Vista
Shifts hurt soul best!
unfreeze now, oh hermit
umbilical cords bind
unkempt is lower mind
unshackle innocence
usher in bliss upsurge
under divine guidance
until the end of time

7 lines @ 6 syllables each
primrose, hollyhock, hibiscus, not sure yet
researching blossoms, but so many look similar
All dainty, lovely, beautiful, from a variety of regions
hellebores, heliotropes, geraniums too.
their gorgeousness parades around the world
Some dance all year, others live but a season
gardenias, freesias, frangipani,
each with her own unique fragrance,
no two exactly alike, diverse in so many ways
they have one thing in common.
They uplift, revitalize, delight and help people
feel joy, and garner enthusiasm for something lovely and fresh
