The Rain

When it rains where I live everyone gets wet,

Their is no set group of people who don’t feel the rain,

No group that doesn’t ever feel pain,

It doesn’t rain everywhere at the same time,

The sun is shining on someone while its raining on others,

The rain doesn’t differentiate one person from another,

Everyone has felt the rain, it’s no avoiding it,

Refrain from thinking your the only one,

Thank God and be appreciated when the sun does shine on you,

Because eventually its going to rain,

My umbrella (Faith-Prayer),

My shelter (God),

I pray that the sun shines on us all

Real Thoughts

Don’t come out of character trying to be cool,

This is not a popularity contest,

This is life!

The number of people who think your cool won’t add up to anything important,

Entertaining gossip and a bunch of nonsense talk won’t get you anything either,

What’s nonsense talk?

Constantly complaining,

Constantly negative,

Constantly putting someone else down,

Even the sound of me complaining gets on my nerves sometimes,

Just because everyone around me is having a complaint party doesn’t mean I have to join

I Don’t Have What You Want

I want to help you, but what I have to give you don’t want,

I want to give you love and advice,

You want financial assistance and an emergency contact,

That’s the main reason we lost contact,

If you don’t get what you want from me I already know how you react,

Mostly in anger and a bad attitude,

I’ll just say it, you are simply rude when you don’t get your way,

I pray for you constantly,

That’s all I can do,

I don’t have what you want,

But I do believe I have what you need,

Love, advice and compassion,

What you want from me will fade,

What I want to give to you is everlasting

The Same Brush

There once was an artist,

He painted several unique one of a kind portraits,

Many of them resembled one another,

And all of them had the same characteristics,

Yet each and every single one of them were profoundly different,

The artist always had different things on his mind when he created his art,

But the root of all his art came from the same place,

The artist seemed repetitive in his message within his art,

Each piece of art was hand crafted by the artist,

Each and every integral detail, the artist took his time formulating,

Never ever in a rush,

And he never painted all his beautiful, spectacular, amazing, pieces of art with the same Brush

Running

Do you ever feel like your running,

Always trying to finish one race to get to the next one,

Never have time to pace and catch your breath,

No time for rest you got to finish the race,

Lace up your shoes and get to running,

Gunning for a opinionated prize,

Trying to rise to this mysterious level,

Never relaxes,

It taxes on the body and mind,

But you keep running,

Until you can’t run anymore,

All that running,

I pray it was worth it

Time is Ticking

If its something you can do today that you haven’t, do it,

Say what you have to say today because tomorrow is not promised,

There are certain things in life that can be done, but there put off,

They may not easily be done from a meantal standpoint,

But they can be done,

You don’t know if the sun will rise in your world tomorrow,

We pray that it does,

Because its not a guarantee,

Be wise with your time,

Don’t just take it from me,

That’s reality.

Happiness (Haiku)

I love this feeling

This is something I yearn for

A true gift from God

I’m Happy Right Now

I’m happy right now,

Everything isn’t going right ,

Everything isn’t going wrong,

I’ve got a big smile on my face,

There will be other days to sing sad songs,

Right now happy,

Happy in this very moment,

I feel great,

“I” think I look good,

I love God,

I love my family,

And very importantly I love myself,

I’m getting an abundance of wealth from being happy,

Thank God I’m happy right now

Speak For Yourself

I can’t speak for an entire group of people,

I can’t even speak for one person,

I can only speak for myself,

We can be in agreement on various subjects but I still can’t speak for you,

A voice for the voiceless,

No, just one person stating a personal opinion,

I’d love for everyone to love all my opinions,

But that’s not reality,

That’s why I speak for myself

Guess What

Lookout for the some entertainers,

Watchout for the TV news,

Be weary of the gossip blogs,

They want tragedy,

They yearn for drama and discourse,

They want you to go crazy!

So they can talk about you,

Horrible negative things bring in an large audience,

So their looking for it,

Their wanting it to happen,

Probably happy when bad stuff does happen,

I had friend that only told me gossip and negativity,

Guess what?

We’re not friends anymore!!
