Lighten Your Heart

I’ll lend you my

Heart…

To help you make it through the

Day…

Without malice or strain

And…

Minus the pain

What…

You will gain

Is…

The love that I

Feel…

From my unselfish

Act…

I pray you will

Heal…

I know your heart

Is…

Heavy, with burdens

From…

The past, but it’s time

To…

Look ahead in

Life…

It’s time to forgive

Yourself…

I Finally See It

Today I sit reflecting on the events of the past. I am not dwelling in self-pity or asking myself irrelevant questions. Quite the contrary; the vision of my future has been neatly placed before me. My future is guaranteed to be fulfilling, spiritual, and satisfying. I realize that it’s solely my responsibility to nurture myself.

I developed a false sense of desire believing I needed to be in a committed relationship to feel complete. I know that I don’t need to have a man to make me feel complete. Would I like to have one? Yes, of course. I don’t think I will ever get used to living alone, but what’s more frightening is to imagine growing old and dying alone.

I am able to differentiate the wants, from the needs. Everything will fall in place; all I need to do is take care of my mind, body, and soul.

This is the passion in my life goals. I know that I am blessed.

There is a new road ahead this year, and I finally see it.

Alphabetical Jigsaw

As a child, I ate alphabet soup

When I was a youngster

I wrote the alphabet

Oodles of times, and played with the noodles

Ultimately the letters formed words

The words then sprung alive

They created art

I read, and have imagery for them

May your form of art, flourish

And become a masterpiece

Never lose sight of your vision

“I may be blind, but I can see you better; than you can see yourself”
