I feel the coldness in my heart
I feel it envelope me
Turning all to frozen frost
No emotion, no anger, shame or fear
No happiness, laughter or anything sincere
This coldness is all I feel
Here in my frozen sphere.
Let love break the way
Melt sadness, anger all away
Rushing forth with laughter
Keeping coldness far at bay
Drip love down deep within my soul
Making warm caring thoughts
Embrace me entirely all today
Keeping coldness far, far away.

I had a dream last night
Everything was alright
Making me think
I’ve done something right.
There were no reproaches
No “What if I had done?”
It was nice this recollect.
It made me feel
I could bask in the sun
Relax and display all I had done.
Sometime go back
Look at your life
See the positive
Forget the strife.
Maybe then you’ll say
“I had a dream last night
And everything is alright.”

Tenderness, love and understanding. Believe in them. Live them and maybe they will be given back to you.

To believe in myself is the way
All will fall into place with
The most dignified grace.
Close my eyes
Visualize happiness, health
And all things I idolize.
They are there with
Much more to spare
Just open my eyes to see.
Yes, believe in myself
Believe in myself today
To believe in myself
Is the only way.

Members of that elite group meet, join hands and strive to bring peace, joy and happiness to the world. Be part of that group. Make it worldwide and not elite.
Peace, joy and happiness.

Enclosed in the box
Our secrets, our lives
Hidden from all
For we must despise.
Why is this? Why do we do
The things that hurt us
In this life too?
Sadness prevails taking its toll
On our hearts and our minds
Two fold I’m told.
Out of the box
Let lives be disclosed
As a great love of life
In this to be told.
No shrinking from any
Fess up and be
The true self person
You desperately can be.

May we please stand up and take ownership of our own lives.

We are in the midst of a dilemma, focusing on the inevitable trying to see the outcome. Instead, dwell on the here and now. It is all you have and can change.

Valentine’s Day immersed in love
Breathtaking splendor follows the day
Making lovers bow and sway.
Joyous laughter, tender kisses
Hugging and holding blissful love
On the edge of passion full of love
Immersed in the day this Valentine’s Day
Made for love.
