Sitting down
To think of something
Intelligently bright and just right
For the discussion I’m having
With myself tonight.

Sitting Down
December 21, 2018
Heard Them Speaking
December 20, 2018
Heard them speaking
I heard them say
All the words I needed
To get thru
This long, long day.
No words of encouragement
None that I heard today
Only words of excellence
That’ll last me
Throughout the journey
I’ll be on today.

Wonders Why
December 19, 2018
All the world
Wonders why
Why it spins
Falling never
Never calling out
Never stopping
Stopping
Stopping
To wonder why.

The Fight Is On
December 18, 2018
The fight is on
Foes look eye to eye
No backing down
No clowning round.
Serious words uttered
Marching feet make
The ground shutter.
The sun looks dim
Trying to hide behind
Dark clouds that weep within.
No winners allowed
Only brave hearts move forward
No matter the thoughts
Indecisive or strong.
There is no right
There is no wrong.

Warning Danger Going By!
December 17, 2018
Warning danger going by!
Hold yourself in check
Don’t say anything in anger
Let it all pass you by.
Say a prayer for those ahead
Those who know not
What’s coming by.
Try to warn them
Don’t just stand there
Letting it devastate
All it passes by.

Sacrifice Needs Not To Be
December 14, 2018
Sacrifice needs not to be
Nor neither give in
No
This is not your destiny.
Abuse no one in your passage
Just
Proud, strong and kind
These are what is needed
In all of human kind.

Things Happen
December 12, 2018
Things happen
I don’t know why
Placing me in places
Sometimes sad
Sometimes I even cry.
Then the heavens open up
Raining down
Blessings warm and bountiful
Covering everything
Everything all around.

When I Heard You Calling Me
December 11, 2018
When I heard you
Calling me
My heart stopped
It skipped a beat.
Tell me why
I can be alone
Lost without you
Near me.
You make me whole
A life to love
With arms wrapped
Around my soul.
Your heart, my heart
Filled with love
Together always
In everlasting love.

Have You Seen Optimistic?
December 7, 2018
Have you seen optimistic?
Where, oh where could she be?
At one time she was here
Right beside of me.
She kept me company
Laughed and made me see
The happy, caring way
Just what I need.
But yesterday
She left, she left me
Have you seen optimistic?
If you do, please tell me.
