Elvernia Russell Poem
When opportunity knocks don’t hesitate
Open the door and celebrate
It may be what you are looking for
How would you know, if you don’t open the door
When opportunity knocks let it in
It may bring you a bashful grin
But if only on one side of the door you abide
How would you know what is on the other side
When opportunity knocks, go in a hurry
Leave your doubt, fear and worry
Be sure and let opportunity in
Because opportunity may never knock again

Elvernia Russell Poem
I stand alone but I stand tall
Not worried about the situation and not afraid to fall
I face my fears and triumph over them all
For the mere fact that I am not afraid to fall
In the heat of the battle I put on a strong face
The toils from each situation I freely embrace
Knowing that in time I would conquer this race
For the mere fact that each situation I freely embrace
When the battle is over and I am a success
I’m no longer in the situation I have passed the test
I am sure that I have done my very best
Because I am no longer in the situation, I have passed the test

Elvernia Russell Poem
I see the waves as they roll on the shore
With palm trees whistling the songs I adore
Sand like feather under my feet
And the grapes on the wines oh so sweet
The shore goes on for about a mile
Everything is beautiful and undefiled
All the flowers smell so nice
In this little paradise
There is nothing like living in paradise (the Bahamas)

Elvernia Russell Poem
The quality that is within me
To see it I had to find the key
Open it up and take a look
It was like a mystery book
So I opened the book and began to read
I was amazed by a single seed
That was planted in me one day
But it wasn't watered so it withered away
Then I read on and began to see
Other qualities within me
Qualities that are possibilities
As long as I never lost the key

Elvernia Russell Poem
Make a wish then blow out the candle
Something that you mind can't handle
Something that you wish to achieve
Keep the faith and just believe

Elvernia Russell Poem
KNOW YOU WORTH
ALTHOUGH IT MAY HURT
ENDURE THE PAIN
RAISE YOUR SELF-ESTEEM
THE PAIN WON’T LAST
ONCE YOU HOLD FAST
AND STAND YOUR GROUND
LET NO ONE BRING YOU DOWN
IN THE BEGINNING
IT FEELS NEVER ENDING
JUST ENDURE TO THE END
AND YOU WILL WIN
PLEASE KNOW YOUR WORTH
NEVER AGAIN BE HURT
CONTINUE STANDING YOUR GROUND
THINGS WILL TURN AROUND
THE TEARS OF TODAY
WILL SOON FADE AWAY
AND YOUR TOMORROW
WILL BE FREE FROM SORROW
SO PUT A SMILE ON YOUR FACE
THAT NO ONE CAN ERASE
AND EACH DAY REMEMBER TO SAY
IT WON’ ALWAYS BE THIS WAY

Elvernia Russell Poem
Anxiously I ran in the yard
This is the best feeling I have ever had
While up and down the road I go
Hopping and dancing and playing in the snow
O it feels nice and soft in my hands
I think I would make me a huge snowman
I’d give him a mouth so he can sing
Two eyes so he can see everything
A nose to smell, two ears to hear
As the Christmas music jingle everywhere
Then I would cherish him each and every day
Because after winter, then comes spring and he will melt away
(this is my goal one day, never saw snow)

Elvernia Russell Poem
I remember that special night
when you hugged and held me tight
The things you whispered in my ear
brought me joy beyond compare
You were the reason why I smiled
seeing your face was always worth while
but now that I lost you I feel depress
because I know I have lost the best
When I see your smiling face
I think of all your warm embrace
I think of the thing we use to do
and I want you to know I will always love you

Elvernia Russell Poem
Free as a bird is how I want to be
Flying through the air, so carefree
Going higher and higher jut to meet my goal
And in every situation, I have full control
So open my cage and let me soar
To the heights and depths I must explore
Aiming higher and higher with the flap of my wings
Knowing I can accomplish anything
So come on now and set me free
To enhance the gifts that is within me
Gifts that would be a possibility
As soon as you set me free

Elvernia Russell Poem
When I first set my eyes on you
Falling in love was all I could do
you were like the ocean breeze that calm my desire
As we sit and warm ourselves by an open fire
Now loving you seem to be the best of my decisions
for now were both joined as one and share a single vision
to press forward day by day aiming at one sight
because the way I love you makes me feel so right
