Inspiration

Inspiration is the power

You feel inside you

Each of us has it

Shining in you

It picks us up

When we're feeling down

Its points us the way

When waves threaten to drown

When life tries to take

Our dreams away

Inspiration in you

Gives you strength...

To try another day.

A Twelve Week Visit

The birds are chirping

A breeze is blowing

The sun is setting

And I feel like dozing

Why did you come

To visit today?

I'll pull up a chair

So you can stay

Chat with me for a bit

Tell me how your day went

Did it go well?

Did you feel alright?

Did the sun shine outside

With all of it's might?

Were the coworkers cordial?

Did your kids obey?

Did your husband or wife

Kiss you today?

Did you pray to God

In thanks for today?

That you're alive and well

And able to play?

That's good to know

More about you...

I'm glad you stopped

To see how I do...

Oh, how do I do?

Is that what you say?

Well, I heard my baby's

heartbeat today.

Beating softly

in quick little beats

The sound of life

At only twelve weeks

Moving and turning

That's what she said

The baby was doing

In it's watery bed

Having fun inside of me

Showing me how I should be.

Kissing Frogs

Spring is in the air

I see you took my dare

You looked at this blog

You kissed the frog

Did a prince I become?

Or a princess too?

Did true love bloom?

Did I make you swoon?

Simple rhymes are all I do

I can not solve your problems for you

I can not remove the pain of your day

I can only breath kind words your way

A little reprieve from the bustling world

Where perfection has a choke hold

And threatens to squeeze the life from us

With impending doom of no success

But really now...what is the worst

If we all lost our jobs and our pride was hurt

If we have good health and the ones that we love

And an after life with the One from above

So...look around you this sunny day

Spring has sprung and chased away the gray.

Love is in bloom and royalty are we

Kissing frogs and swooning gently.

How Can You Be Happy

How can you be happy

When really you're sad?

How can you be down

When really you're glad?

How can you be both

When you're only one?

How can your afflictions

You overcome?

How do you fight

When your arms are weak?

How do you instruct

When it hurts to speak?

How do push

That extra mile?

When it's hard to push

Your lips to a smile?

If you cry with me

I'll cry with you

Maybe together

This thing we'll get through

Maybe this day

Even though tough

Needs only a hug

To get through this stuff

If you get my back

I'll take yours

We'll do it together

That's what a friend's for

And tomorrow when comes

The bright shining sun

We'll lift each one up

And make that day fun.

What If I Wrote

What if I wrote

a poem for you?

A poem that only

spoke the truth

It not only rhymed

but spoke softly

Of the little things

that I see?

The little things

that irk my mind,

The little things that

are unkind

The little things

that really say

The kind of things

that are hard to say

What if I rhymed

with intent in mind

to capture the feelings

in my mind

Maybe you'd like it,

then maybe not

I think it's more fun

to play blogspot

To rhyme in code

with words that play

Safely away

from the fray.

My Master's Been Thinking..

My master's been thinking

A lot about her blogs

Wondering if

She's only kissing frogs

Thinking about what she did before

Trying to recall

The view before

she opened up this door.

A door to a different world

Where faces are unseen

Only snapshots here and there

Capture what you mean

Words written

where only few are read

Words written

that sometimes ease your head.

Then when we leave this land

to live in all our strife

Are we better at

dealing with our life?

I Know I Should

I know I should, I've felt I could

Say some words to you

To welcome you to thank you

For seeing how I do

Even when told not to.

But that's ok that you came

To see me at this site

I'm amusing and polite

The kind of friend you'd like.

I won't cuss or gossip

To try and get you down

I won't even talk of death

Cause that would make you frown

I'll only say the witty things

The kinds of things you'd like

The kind of things my master thinks

Need a little insight.
