Like beauty overwhelming the sky I am more grateful for blessings More appreciative of being alive Oh how it brings me inner peace I am a woman of the dawn Empowered by the light That chases the darkness away The birth of a glorious new day Breathtaki ..read more

WORRYWorry, worries go away and don’t come back!Sad, heavy-hearted, the burdens that depress us,Stop wearing down my body and robbing me of my JOY!

Just Someone I don’t think that I am a terrible person Just someone that is always searching I don’t have answers or the right solution Just someone doing a lot of rehearsing I don’t need to hear your sermon Just someone that is reaching The right answers I will determine Just waiting for the correct wording I  don’t want to become a burden Just someone that is recording The events of my life with a pardon Just a new chapter that is starting Better light I walk into a dark roomI feel all empty insideI turn on the light switchWith life, the room does feel I walk outside and look aroundThe s ..read more

I Need a Vacation At times life feels like a battleshipThe regrets sometimes blow my mindEven though time doesn’t last foreverMy brain needs some relaxation Maybe I need to escape and go on a tripShould I get away so I can unwind?Clear my mind so I can get it all togetherWould I need an explanation?
