Soft and gentle
Strong and hard
Much to learn
Lots to discard.
Be you patience
Kind and bright
For whatever
Comes tonight.

Soft And Gentle

I Thank Those Of You
August 7, 2012
I thank those of you
Who treated me
In my ‘Blond’ time
With respect and dignity.
And for those
Who laughed
And ridiculed
I thank you too.
For you have let me see
There are beautiful people
In this world
And ones filled
With misery.
You have a place
Here in this world
But it is nowhere
Near or part of me.

Why Do I Wonder?
August 3, 2012Why do I wonder?
Why do I challenge?
Why can’t I munster
All needed here in my realm?
No joke is conducted
No sequence revealed
Just me and my wonder
On that level playing field.

Loving Heart, Gentle Kindness
August 1, 2012Loving heart
Gentle kindness
Living life
Full of love.
Missing you
Missing love.
Remember nothing
It’s okay
I will remember
Yesterday
Brimming kindness
Gentle love.
Know I miss you
Miss your love.
Be you happy
Gave so much
Loving kindness
Gentle love.
Remember nothing
Remember me
Remember love
For all eternity.

Focus
July 31, 2012
Focus
Focus on my mind.
What has it to offer?
What has it to demand?
Let it work along side
My heart
To fulfill all I can.
Focus
Focus and be
The person
Whose made a difference
Whose took a stand.

If I Do Not Seek
July 30, 2012
If I do not seek
I will not learn.
If I do not learn
I will not grow.
If I do not grow
I will not be
The kind of person
I want the world
To see.

Joyous Day
July 27, 2012Joyous day
Glorious time
Smile and laugh
Feel the sky
Let your legs run.
Smell flowers
And
Taste the beauty
Brought here
By the sun.

Sometimes I Cry
July 26, 2012
Sometimes I cry
Other times
I laugh hysterically.
Sometimes quiet
Takes over me.
How I respond
To the happenings
In my life
Is totally up to me.
Enjoy
Enjoy your life.

Peek Beneath
July 25, 2012
Peek beneath
All that covers
See things
As they really are.
Face them square
Confront and dare
All to be everything
You need.
You and me
We can be
More than anything
We dare.
So peek beneath
Accept the dream
And be the one
You really are.
