You must leave behind, that which causes harm
There is always promise, hope, for a brighter day
Remember, deep inside you, lies a hidden charm
Find your path to inner peace, dare to walk away

Tis but a dream that wakes my mind
And feeds my soul with visions kind
That whirls the colors in my head
Breathes new life, to them, instead
But oh the mysteries it does reveal
When in my heart, these feelings, real
Draw me away from reality’s door
To find me, forever, wanting more
And the more I find, as I journey, yon
Reminds me to venture, on and on

Why is it that the stars, can glow nightly?
But I easily burn out, exhausted, unsightly
My body dares me, to move about, quickly
Until the nerves become angered and prickly
Deciding I should, at last, just park it
Before something else, happens to spark it
Into a raging inferno, of liquid molten rock
When I look in the mirror, I see total shock
On a face I don’t recognize, how could it be
That the face in the mirror, used to be me

I wrote this for my Mom, three years ago, for Mother’s Day, and I am sharing it again, because today, we are celebrating her 85th birthday! Happy Birthday, Mom!! Here’s to many more! ❤
Years ago, that October day
I learned about true love
God sent me a guardian angel
My blessing from above
Guiding me along the path
She taught me how to live
With wisdom, grace and dignity
Giving all she had to give
And still this day
She shines her light
On all who gather round
I’m so very proud to call her Mom
My love for her abounds

How often we impose on our fellow man
By simply robbing him blind, of his wares
Exploitation, abuse, since time first began
Yet, you still wonder why, nobody cares
