Everyday Is A Blessing

I’m so thankful for today,

It was such a tremendous opportunity,

Even though I never know what’s going to happen,

I always pray for the best,

Yes tomorrow may not come for all of us,

If it does feel blessed because it doesn’t have to,

It’s not to scare anyone or make anyone sad,

It’s reality,

Don’t take any day for granted,

Try to be happy,

Try to enjoy your time,

Make the best of your time,

Please have respect for your life as well as others,

Get to know God,

So when it is your time you feel ready for the next journey,

God help me,

God help us all

Don’t Give Up

What do you say when things aren’t going your way,

Me personally I pray and have confidence that God loves me,

That encourages me and keeps me going but I am still human so the problem still keep coming,

I don’t care what anyone says it’s harder to do the right thing than the wrong thing,

It’s easier to steal than work for it,

It’s easier to lie than tell the truth,

You have to work hard to do the right thing,

You can be lazy and do the wrong thing,

It’s not easy trying to do right and no one really cares,

People that do the wrong thing get rewarded and sympathy if they eventually do a few things right,

People that do the right thing most of the time get nothing their deeds are usually hidden and out of sight,

You go to work,

You follow the laws and rules,

You try to be kind,

But it seems like others are blind to all of that, until you mess up,

Now they see you,

It takes faith and discipline to stay on the straight and narrow,

Faith that God is watching,

Faith that God will reward you,

Don’t give up on trying to do the right thing,

It’s how life is sometimes the people doing wrong get rewarded and the ones doing right get nothing,

Nothing but peace of mind,

Unbreakable faith,

Confidence in God,

I know it’s hard and it doesn’t seem worth it at times but it is,

It seems so unfair but keep going,

Keep the faith,

Don’t give up.

Shine Bright

I’m not afraid to show my emotions,

I’m not scared to express my feelings,

I don’t hold my thoughts inside,

I try not to hide from the way I feel,

Bottling up emotions is painful and senseless in my opinion,

That’s why I speak my mind and I also find creative ways to reveal my heart,

You only live once don’t let the world around you not see your light,

Shine as bright as you can,

It’s not about fame, popularity or fortune,

It’s about you,

Express yourself,

Be yourself,

Love yourself,

Tomorrow is not promised,

But I can promise you this,

You will never regret loving yourself

🎵I Love You 🎵

It’s been so many years,

We’ve shed so many tears,

Still when I think of you,

I wish you were still here

To see your pretty face,

To hear your lovely voice,

Love wasn’t forced on us,

We both made a choice

I remember the first time I ever met you,

I wish I knew that we would fall in love,

Now I know that we were both young and not ready,

For the power that real love brings

Now that I’m older and wiser,

I can admit I was lost,

Lost in my emotions,

We didn’t know how to handle real love

The past can’t be changed,

No matter how painful or beautiful it was,

I learned about real love,

What was a lie,

And what was true,

Still in the end,

I LOVE YOU

Judgmental

Swept under the rug,

Skeletons in the closet,

Past sins,

Who among us is perfect,

I’ve judged others and still judge others whether I do it on purpose or not,

What gives me that right,

Nothing,

Is it a flaw,

I don’t want to judge because I’m the last person who should be judging anyone,

I feel that way about myself and everyone I know and have ever met,

Yet we all still do it,

Judge by appearance,

Judge by financial status,

Judge by race,

Judge by occupation,

Judge by past mistakes,

The list can go on and on,

But again who are we to judge,

Is it right,

Is it wrong,

Sometimes the answer gets really blurry…

I Love Being Me!!!

I don’t know how to act like anyone else,

Talk like anyone else,

Think like anyone else,

All I know is how to be myself,

I can’t lie I’ve attempted to imitate others but it never worked,

That was a long long time ago,

I stopped fighting who I am and started loving who I am,

I started to get to know myself,

Because no matter where I go or what I do guess who’s going with me,

Me!,

All I can do is try to better myself,

Become a better me,

I have my own definition of success,

I have my own thoughts,

Rather anyone agrees with me or not that’s just what it is,

I’m very protective of my heart and who and what I give it to,

God,

Family,

And me,

You can agree or disagree,

I don’t care,

And that’s exactly why I absolutely Love being me!!

What Do You Do When It’s Raining?

What do you do when it’s raining,

Do you stay inside and cry and worry,

Do you stay in constant prayer asking for the rain to stop,

What do you do when it’s raining and it seems like the rain will never stop,

Do you give up and drown in your sorrow,

Do you keep a good attitude and think optimistic,

Do you trust and have faith that it will end soon,

What do you do when it’s raining and you haven’t seen the sun in a long time,

Do you let your mind dwell on the negative,

Do you stay up at night contemplating what you can do to make it better,

Do you let it affect your mind, body and soul,

I know everything is not always rainbows and sunshine,

So what do you do when it’s raining?

Thinking About Money

Many people are completely convinced that money makes the man or woman,

We have been told that wealth equals success,

I was told once that my heart was attached to my spending,

I think all of that is sending the wrong message,

Who doesn’t want money,

Who wouldn’t like to be financially stable,

Who doesn’t want to be rich,

Is it all about money,

That’s what’s being told and taught to us from an early age,

Then you get to a stage in life and realize there’s more,

Some people never reach that stage,

They spend all their life trying to get money,

Then spend all their money trying to stay alive,

There are things more valuable than money,

There are things money can’t buy,

Health, love, time, happiness,

Money is a tool that can’t fix everything,

Don’t let money define you,

Don’t let money rule you,

Make sure there are many things you won’t do for any amount of money,

Just thinking about money…..

My Joy

Every day I have to search for my joy,

A joy that I need to survive,

A joy that gives me strength,

I call it my joy but I know it was given to me,

This is a joy that is uniquely made only for me,

My joy is a blessing wrapped in love,

A gift from above,

When I’m irritated I find my joy,

When I’m sad I need my joy,

My joy is what keeps me going at times,

Sometimes I reach my limits and I want to give up and my joy keeps me going,

God thank you for My Joy.

Beautiful Confusion

How do I love people who don’t love me,

How do I be kind to people who are unkind to me,

How do I have faith in something I can’t see,

I heard that people can’t see oxygen but they believe they can breathe,

It doesn’t all make sense to me,

Yet I still believe,

How?
