State or mind

We know not what people hide
We know not the reasons why
Where their thoughts are
What they see within their minds
The pain they feel
The smile behind they hide
Their strength they use to constrict
The happiness they share does conflict
Sure we are not all the same
It's not unlike the ol' shell game
So why go for the abstract
When the truth they speak are the facts
Why judge and label and try to make sense
When they themselves are not convinced
Who has the keys
What do they unlock
Oh, thanks for the pills
They helped ... not

I am

My Heart weighs heavy
As it has been the previous month
Wish I could say it gets easier
It Doesn't. Sorry to be blunt
I get lost in emotions
Afraid I'll forget
Is it in the details
Or a form of regret
Never heard of expectations
Don't know if they've been met
I know that he was proud of me
By his actions not words said
I have learned what matters
Through his heart I see
And though they may be cloudy
I see and breathe
My heart weighs heavy
But it does not cry
At least not today
Not important why

From nothing to life

My Darkness breathes
The light for my heart
It provides the words
To which there's a spark
A Dark hopeless and despair
Images for which I don't care
Selfish in the way it acts
A Dark for which it lacks
For the Light of my heart
My words ring true
Of kindness, Faith, Belief in you
Thankful for this and much more
A Love from Darkness
Which I am born

August 24, 2014

As we each walk our paths
We come across many
Some just pass by
Others mean plenty
They say we meet for a reason
That there's purpose or cause
Either you provide a lesson
Or a Blessing when lost
Thankful for you being
For you all touched my life
For when I'm in my darkness
You all provide me with light


Blessed to have known you
Thankful you're by my side

                              WWIII

Blessings come
Blessings may go
What's important to me
Is for you to know
From the first moment 
You came to my life
Was it planned
Or just God being nice
We crossed paths for a reason
Be it lessons learned
Or moments to share
Sweet memories churned
We take what we can
It's in our perspective
I choose PMA
There's no fun being negative
Thank you
For sharing in my time
Hope I was as good to you
As you were to mine

August 19, 2014

In a dark and lonely room I lay
Attacked by demons, I pray
For the peace and love I seek
I can't hide or be meek
But alone in thought I cry
For so long no questions why
This is the life being brought to me
So with Faith, the light I see
The battle rages on and on
For Love or being wronged
For my soul the Lord to keep
My demons buried deep
Within my darkness they reside
From the light I seek they hide
In this dark and lonely room I lay
I believe and so I pray
Faith and Hope will stay
My demons please Go away

8-19-2015

Some days are harder
Some are easy
You would never know
When you see me
A master of disguise
Surviving the day
Just another person
Trying to find his way

2015-8-16

Alone in my heart
Found a small space to hide
To think, Reflect
And sometimes, cry
A place for me 
To sort things out
A piece of me
That clearly shouts
Why's aren't answered
Only what to do
Let not only words
But your actions define you
I don't look for answers
They're not within me
Choose the heart to guide
Enjoy the journey
Alone in my heart
But not lonely
My heart is filled
With friends and family]


                     WWIII

Sparked by a love
I have for another
Shown me a love
I deserve from no other
Believe in myself
Hold myself true
Regardless of opinions
I am what I do
Thankful for her
Just for the conversation
Her laugh, her smile
And yes, her reservations
It has opened doors
I long since closed
She opened my eyes
To that I must grow
To love my mind
My body, my spirit
Speak Kindly, Act Thankful
Live iridescent
Inspired by her beauty
A warm natured heart
A lesson to be learned
Let the kindling start


                       WWIII

I found ...

I searched for love
Thought I needed
Then found the wisdom
I thought be heeded
Love thy self
To thy self be true
Share thy love
It returns in bloom
Search no more
No seek to find
I'll be me
Thankful and Kind
I'll no longer chase
For they say it's blind
She'll find me
If she has the time
No not giving up
No loss to grieve
Just having Faith
For I believe


           ... Faith
                WWIII  

2015-8-11 2:59 AM

My thoughts of you 
Fills my mind
Trying to leave you alone
Be respectful and kind
Part of me tells me
I'm being a fool
Do I chase my desires
Or walk away from you

2015-8-11 5:35AM

Far from resting peacefully
Alive I toss and turn
Race with mind's activity
Trying not to crash and burn
Slow things down
It's not a race
Enjoy your life
And dreams to chase
Awake with the feelings
Thankful and Blessed
Be Mindful and patient
Ease the stress

2015-8-11 7:38 AM

Nerves on edge
Can't tell why
Go about the day
With a big smile
Hide what lies in me
It'll be alright
It'll settle down
And end this plight
The fight is within me
A battle wages on
Continue to do right
Sing no sad songs

True ...

I look back at my past
And wonder no more
I walked a path
To which I was born
The gifts of passion
Of that I've learned
The lessons of kindness
To which I've earned
I'm my mother's son
I'm much like my father
I'm a product of them
Mentored by others
I am me
like no other
Like my mom and dad
Number six, third brother
I learn to grow
And share with whom I can
I have Faith in my future
Thankful for who I am


                        ... to myself
                                  WWIII
                               8-9-14

No Where But Up

Feeling Drained
From all the rain
Can't stop the Pain
Waiting to go insane
With nothing to lose
And everything to gain
Either it works
Or it ends this reign


                        WWIII
                        8-9-13

Pay No Mind ... (8-9-13)

The fear that resides
In the Darkness of the mind
Intimidate and terrorize
No matter how strong or kind
To dismiss with cliche
Or be ill advised
Whether cause and affect
The fears will rise
The uncontrollable state
Takes hold with time
To quiet the beast
Overcome it's lies
Failure to act
To succumb to the risk
Failure to live
Keeps from being your best
A choice to be made
To cry or smile
To live Life as meant
Or life beguiled


                    ... See the Light
                                  WWIII

August 6, 2015

My search continues
To end my hurt
The Darkness resides
Remains to flirt
Planting seeds
I won't let grow
The thoughts I hide
You'll never know
I continue to battle
Engaged to be stronger
I'll conquer this
And no longer wander
Guidance with spirit
Passion with heart
Direction through knowledge
To set me apart
I continue my journey
Defeat my fears
I'll be on top
No matter how many tears


                              WWIII

Cover of ...

What happened to me
Why can't I get it back
I know things change
But they were attacks
I didn't know I was in trouble
My mind was in a spin
I played a fool
My body gave in
How do I fight back
Gain what I lost
How do I become the person
I once was
Not looking back
Just want a better future
How do I make a life
Worth my care and nurture
Afraid to do 
Fear to see
The darkness seems
To just cover me


                   ... Darkness
                           WWIII  

What did I do wrong
Not looking to change the past
I want to belong
Walking my own path
Am I doing wrong now
Can't keep track of my steps
I lost my way
Wiping tears wepted 

August 6, 2013

Strength from within
It's why we search our souls
Strength depends on friends
For when the going gets tough and slow
This strength to some may seem like a weakness
To reach out for help, others despair
There's no shame in asking for help
At least not from those who care
My struggles aren't much
Not when laid to compare
But these are my struggles
I try not to burden or share
I try to be strong not waiver
Though every battle takes it's toll
Not every battle worth fighting
The trick know when to let go

Know ...

Really hate this process
In the zone of self doubt
Confused and wondering
What's she all about
I wonder if she thinks of me
Do I fill her thoughts
Hope she knows when I'm smiling
With a thought of her I got caught
How do I stop this fantasy
It's all in my mind
I just want to talk with her
Hear her laugh And see her smile
Wanna share the best of me
Be more than all I got
She's the reason why I breathe
Believe me or not
Slow my roll for I know better
Can't get caught up
Just do what I gotta do
And hope for what develops
Don't know if she knows how I feel
Just wish she knows I'm here
I hope I don't mess things up
Before she knows I care


                                  ... time
                                     WWIII

Fifty ...

A date is coming up

I thought wasn't a big deal

It represents an age

Not exactly how I feel

In six weeks, I'll turn fifty

An age I didn't think I'd see

yes, things were very iffy

If I told you, you wouldn't believe

Now Thankful for each

Blessed by each and every day

I seek to be kind

In a beautiful mindful way

The big five - O, Yes turning fifty

Never thought I reach this

It's gonna get crazy tricky

Time to man up and do this

The age is just a number

Still playful at heart

There's still life in me

The best is about to start

This date will come up quickly

Blink and it'll be gone

Blessed by family and friends

Here I'll be standing strong

                ... September 13, 2015

                                   WWIII

August 2, 2011

As we close the door
We end another day
And when we rise
Again we'll praise
Rise with the Son
And witness the glory
Live your life
And write your own story
Be in the now
Live in each moment
Be true to your heart
As you seek attonement

Thanksss!

Thankful I took the chance
No lie the feelings felt for her

Straight and honest first chance

Would never lie to me or her

Thankful for the thoughts of romance 

The feeling of being alive again 

With her I would have danced

For she has gotten me to try again

I thought I could surpress

The loneliness that hides in me

I figured it would be best 

She, a wonderful surprise to breathe

I wanted to be by her side

Having invoked the best from me

Our friendship would come alive

Waiting for what the future sees

Thankful it's said and done 

She trusted I would see

The words she spoke 

And shared to believe 

Thankful for who she is

Inspired by the person I see

Hoping for all the best for her

Least I could do for what she's given me 

                                 WWIII

To Share ...

Better to have tried
And remove all doubts
Than to have "what if"
And wander about
Thankful she was honest
Took the time to let me know
I took my shot
Now to let go
Grown past the petty
No time for games
I'd rather be honest
Where there ain't no shame
I shared my feelings
My thoughts to bear
She shared with me
And showed she cared
It just wasn't right
And so it has shown
Now I can smile
Better that it's known


                    ... or not to share
                              WWIII

I know why
I don't apply
It's too dam hard
Too dam shy
Hate being excited
Only to be put down
I'm much happier
When no one's around
Disappointed by being disappointing
So hard to measure up
No one's willing
To see what's up
Hate to open my heart
To feel vulnerable inside
To share feelings with others
I knew better to hide
Hate this feeling
As it rolls over me
Trying to find love
Having trouble to believe
I know why I don't
I should be accepting
Trying to get with this
Better impress or keep steppin'


                                  WWIII

Better to have tried
Than have "what if's"
You may wonder
And think what's the diff
If you ever have wonder
Think it's best to find out
It may be a simple question
That'll remove all doubt
Make a loving gesture
Or one little act
To help provide an answer
The knowledge you lack
I put myself out there
Falling hoping to be caught
To share and express
My Love and thoughts
Nothing to be bitter
Can't control how it's received
Put my best self forward
It's me, my feelings I believe
For better or worse
My offer I am who I am
No longer holding back
Strive to be the best I can


                          WWIII

If it doesn't kill me ...

I sometimes make decisions 
That don't seem to turn out right
I sometimes hate myself for doing
For fun I twist it light
Wrong choices, bad time
Part of the story in My Life 
I put myself in places
Where my choices deem right
Been told I need to apply
Make an effort and change
To reach out and take a chance
My routine life rearranged
Take my lumps when I deserve them
Glide pass "Go" when on a roll
I might not take Manhattan 
But I'm gonna go for all I know
I make decisions from my heart
Right or wrong who knows
I'll make mistakes along the way
With a smile learn and grow


               ... it'll make me stronger
                                     WWIII

Missed her ...

She stood there
Gently swaying
Dancing to the beat of her heart
I got caught watching
Couldn't tear my eyes apart
With a smile, she said hello
With a wink, she stole my heart
Captivated the very first moment 
By a beauty she couldn't hide
Joyful, playful, and coyly shy
Distracted from what I was doing
She had me completely mesmerized 
Felt myself drawn to her
Yet my steps were cut short
As she faded away from me
My feelings in full retort 


                      ... by that much!
                                       WWIII

Hi ! ...

Am I feeling infatuated
Has my heart run amuck
Is my mind playing scenarios
Am I lonely and feeling stuck
Doubts that fill my mind
Insecurities block my heart
The lack of confidence kills me
Dead before I start
I try to open and express
The feelings I have inside
Yet every time I open up
The more I want to hide
What searching needs to be
What discoveries have to be made
How do I approach
What words do I say


                          ... My name is ...
                                           WWIII

A Dream ...

A foot massage
Anytime when in need
Soft gentle kisses
While watching TV
Dinner ready and waiting
Cooked by you or me
I yearn for our time
You and me together
I search for you
Your come-hither
To steal my heart
Least I die, 
Alone I wither


                    ... amidst ...
                             WWIII
                              7-28-14

Share the Love ...

Come what may
I have no fears
Face the challenges
As they rear
With strength in Faith
I will conquer
Learn what's needed
And become better
Come what may
Together we rise
The strength of our love
Will be no surprise
We'll act as one
With support and understanding
We'll share with Kindness
There'll be no dividing
Come what may
You'll see things through
For I'm amazed
By the beauty that's you


        Share the love she needs
        The Love she wants
        Share what's you
                   ... Never Give Up!
                                         WWIII

Been on my mind
For quite sometime
Inspire the rhythm
Within my rhyme
Envoke the knowledge
I already knew
Look for the smile
Having shared with you
Try to be positive
Honest with self
Disguise not
Fool no one else
Present what's real
This choice is mine
Share how I feel
What's on my mind
Have your perspective
Your point of view
Value it much
If you hold it true

Have a Blessed Day

As I woke this morning
Greeting the sunrise
I couldn't but help
I just had to smile
What a wonderful weekend
With family and friends
Sharing good times together
No better way to spend
Rejuvenated my spirit
Nourished  my soul
Provided me reasons
To keep on the go
I hope I was worthy
Your sharing of time
Grateful for you
Thanks for blessing mine

July 27,2013

It's a strange place
Where Life begins
And how it ends
The human heart and all it transcends
How it reaches out
And yes, how it sometimes pretends
Big heart, huge heart, heart of gold
Broken heart, cold heart, heart of stone
No matter which state
The heart is home
Do yourself a favor
Warm your heart
Let it be known


((( <3 ))) 

Smile ...

To elicit a smile 
What does it take
To invoke those emotions
Is it ever a mistake
To be Thankful
To be Kind
To share a thoughtful time
And positive mind
Do I act a fool
Or share a compliment
Do I enjoy our time
Like it's Heaven sent
Do we listen
Do we talk
Hand in hand
Enjoy a walk
We choose our moments
And with whom we share
We share our smiles
Because they're there
So what does it take
To elicit a smile from you
What needs to be shared
To bring out your cool
To smile wide
And smile bright
To feel from your heart
You're a Light in my Life


                        ... and warm my heart
                                             WWIII

Day In ...

I stumble
I sometimes fall
Wrapped in the notion
I won't be here at all
Out of face
Out of mind
Out of place 
And Out of time
The visions flash
The thoughts rumble
Left here Thankful
And very humble
I'm blessed in many ways
Hopeful it leads to more days
Make the best 
Of any given situation
Having Faith sharing Kindness
While showing compassion
I stumble 
I sometimes fall
I get back up
I will stand tall


                             ... Day Out
                                     WWIII

Help Me ...

I often wonder
When anyone reads my poems
What are their thoughts
Did I bring it home
Do my words matter
Could you relate
Did you like it so much
Or truly hate
Does it matter
I'm sorry, no
I write what I write
So I can let it go
I simply offer
And hope it helps
Get you through the day
Whatever's dealt 


                       ... Help You
                                WWIII

Slow ...

In just an instant
Everything can change
The calm world you knew
Now up in rage
Breath seems endless and flowing
A quickening with no signs of slowing
The mind is racing
Yet knows not where it's going


                                   ... down
                                WWIII

Given Me ...

Thinking of you
Having inspired my mind
Why hold back 
Knowing the limits of time
Never knew the meaning
Living to the fullest
Live and enjoy
The rest is just bullshit
Learn to let go
Let nothing inhibit
Those who judge
They just don't get it
Life is short
The term is relative
We never have enough
Considering what you have to give
In case I don't say it
Thank you very much
You show me how to live
And that I too can touch


                        ... The Reasons
                                      WWIII

Feel ...

I question myself
The thoughts of inaction
I asked to apply
Yet with no satisfaction
I sit here and wonder 
What I want
What am I looking for
What have I caught
Sweaty palms
Feeling butterflies
Tell myself the truth
Or feed myself lies
What am I doing
Why so unsure
Why even question
Just follow the lure


                     ... anew
                            WWIII

July 19, 2012

It comes without notice
The sum of your fears
The attack of Panic
Sheds more than tears
It buries one's confidence
Courage all but dies
Left with a shell once was
Now seeks and hides


                                     ...
                                      WWIII

July 17,2013I

In a moment's time
Everything can change
From celebrating life
To endless rain
Cherish every moment
But let it not define
Moments good and bad
Deal with it and leave it behind
Being thankful for all I have
And wishing everyone more
Time is a gift
Don't leave it on the floor
Too much in your hand
And don't know what to do
Be there for someone
It just might help you, too


                          WWIII

Thankful Thursday

Thankful Thursday is here
Remind yourself please
Joyous reasons for you
And for us to breathe
Count your Blessings
Both big and small
Be Thankful for one
Be Thankful for all
Be Mindful of this day
Keep happy positive thoughts
Keep that smile
Without don't be caught


                      WWIII

For You, For Me ...

Twenty years back
Things were different
Twenty years forward
Things won't be the same
Some have five year plans
And search for better ways
Some just simply wake up
And are Thankful for the day
Somewhere life starts living
It's Meaning, Purpose, and Path
Give way for any reasoning
Mindful it no longer asks
Deeds are done for the sake of
We do what needs to be done
All of this will happen
Just share and have fun


                          ... smile and relax
                                    WWIII
                                       July 16, 2014

Go! ...

But what do I do ... Go!
But what happens if ... you'll know, Go!
But it's scary out there! ... Go!
What will I find? ... Go!
Experience, the act of doing and knowing the better of it.
Life experience, because nothing is gained by just watching ... GO! DO!
I'll be here when you get back


                                   WWIII

July 16, 2013

Awake, Thankful, and smiling
Weary, Tearful, and crying
Happy, Joyful, ... lying
Control how you feel
Think positive thoughts 
It may seem dire
It is not, it is not...

Lost photo ...

Had pictured in my mind
How we would be
How loving and caring
The two of us breathe
I believe I would meet you
And know when that was
Believe you would see me
And know just because
I can paint it in my mind
Make seem so real
Yet in my heart
There's nothing to feel
A mere fantasy
Playing over and over
Just like I search
For a four leaf clover
Right place, right time
The situation and chance
To feel in my heart
The start of romance
Passion and devotion
To chase away our fears
Strength and support
To ease our tears
The cart before the horse
Not how this ends
Continue to search
For my best friend 

Your Chance ...

Be cautious old heart
Been fooled before
Feels familiar
Know not what's in store
Been asked to apply
But have no sense
What to do
Is there any chance
Just speak
Be really you
Be yourself
To whom you're true


                       ... move
                              WWIII

July 14, 2014

We often do things
We ought not
We often second guess
We often get caught
Believe in yourself
Not what they say
Stand up for you
All day every day


                  WWIII

Who we are ...

Thankful I am
Thankful for you
Thankful for all I have
And for the things I do
We come to crossroads
We need to make a choice
Let yourself be heard
Not blindly no voice
Bless this day
Enjoy the present
What tomorrow brings
Remember to represent


                    ... what we do
                           WWIII

July 8,2015

Be it from conditioning

Or even from dismay

We still have choices

They're ours to make

Don't wallow in BS

There's no pity party here

Pick yourself up

Give reasons to cheer

Change does happen

Positively choose

Learn from our mistakes

You'll never lose

Make choices for the better

Struggle we will

A better life in the journey

Need not be living hell     

Have Hope

Choose Faith

Have a Blessed day

                          WWIII

Thankful...

Thankful for what is
Thankful for all to come
Make the right choices
Deal with what's done
Whether you go with your gut
Or simply follow your heart
You still have a choice
To accept or to depart
 Have Faith in your abilities 
Adapt and overcome
Stay in check with reality
Do that which can be done
Hopes and Prayers are needed
But we can't idly stand by 
Do what's needed to succeed
You must try and apply
Thankful for all I have
For these are my choices
Mindful as I breathe
Separate from the bull_ _it


                                  WWIII

Scared ...

Do I get angry
Succumb to my fears
Do I clear my mind
I know what's there
No hidden surprises
Take it all in stride
Be Thankful and happy
For all by my side
Gonna get through this
I know what's at stake
I may not see
But my vision is great
What do I do
Treat it as a new chapter
Fill it with Smiles
With joy and laughter
Don't let it get hold
Fears won't let go
I'll be OK

Three Minutes ...

Captivated by your look
Drawn in with your smile
The ease with which we conversed
We'll be here a while
With the depth of your eyes
And comfort of your voice
To engage longer
Was an easy choice
The time slipped by
without a moments notice
Laughter and smiles
We're in reconnaissance
What to do
Absent of strategy
How did she walk away
Having gotten the best of me


                         ... to apply

My body shakes I know not why
I see myself die frequently
Frequently I cry
Uncontrollably, from no where, why
I feel joy from my smile
Love in my heart
Kindness when I speak
Hope when it's dark
I'm the same person
However there's change
I'm the same person
I'm not insane
Shit, here comes the rain


        How do they test for this?
                                                WWIII

A World ...

Take me in your world
Show me things I've never seen
How you're like a pearl
Come color my dreams
Show me what I'm missing
Wrapped in the warmth of your eyes
Walk with me together
We'll weather any surprise
Help me discover
A better world of you
Let me explore
What we can do


                  ... a Heart <3
                          WWIII

May your bright smile
Attract kindness like your heart
May your eyes be mindful
As you reach for the stars
May you listen to the melody
And dance with what touches your soul
May we be thankful
For you and your glow

                       Be Blessed ...
                              WWIII

Rough night to start a fight
The mind's wondrous plight
How does it battle the evil's might
Why does it stand and want to do right
The struggles for clarity
The question of purpose
The quest for serenity
And I get this to surface
Battle on! Fight the good fight
Resist the temptations
Find peace in this life

blank ...

A loss for words
Though I know they're in me
I wish to express
Yet it can't breathe
Mixed are my thoughts
Clouded are my feelings
Blurred is my vision
As I sit here wondering
...

                   ... stare
                         WWIII

I know this day is bittersweet
It calls for celebration
But from now
There'll be empty seats
Wrapped in memories
Remembered with tears
We try to move forward
With pride, persevere
Honor thy memories
Share with who's here
Think of the happiness
That was once shared
We take care of the past
By loving our future
Both bright marks
To guide us further
Celebrate the moment
Be Mindful and cheer
Honor the past
Love who's here


Missing you
I wish you could see ...
((( <3 )))

There's no going back
Fix it going forward
Have no regrets
Understand how this can sour
Maybe yesterday
Maybe sooner
Choose change
Learn from err
From Positive Hearts
To Positive Minds
Be Thankful for now
So much Hate and destruction
From oneself to the next
Start with you
Love yourself best

Thankful for this moment
As I struggle for air
I tend to take for granted
What I assume will always be there
An element of Life
Which nourishes body and soul
Like many other elements
Which helps us thrive and grow
Breathe deeply
Soak in good life
Be Thankful for what you have
Do what's right 

Thankful for all I have
Both Good and Better
Appreciate the lessons
And become the wiser
Blessed with life
And the joy of living
Practice being Kind
And art of giving
Give back what you can
Be a better you
Improve what is
Do what you do
Believe in yourself
Have Faith in your heart
Don't ever stop
Reach for the stars

We face situations
Which takes all Faith
Removes all Hope
Leaves you straight
Armed with Knowledge
Intuition as Strength
Character for Heart
The Ability to change
Asked to act
Being guided by your soul
Do what you should
You already know
A test of Faith
To that which you believe
To show you
Exactly what he sees
A Beautiful Heart
A Wonderful Mind
A Gentle Soul
Thoughtful and Kind

By His Grace

Don't let my Sunshine bother you
If you were set on having a bad day
Who am I to disturb you
Disrupt you from your say
Don't count the Blessings before you
Nor be Thankful in any way
Life i filled with many hardships
You can choose to change
Life doesn't have to be so difficult
See and Believe it's gonna be OK
Have Faith in your abilities
Have Hope for better days
Don't mean to make things simple
It's why I knee and pray
Think Positive about the outcomes
Lean on me to show the way

Good Morning !

Greet the Day
With Hope and Care
Have Faith in Self
And Whom you Share
It's Truly Endless
Imagination and Possibilities
You must Apply
To gain Opportunities
Take a leap
Not to fall far
Express yourself
True to who you are
Live the Day
Love the Life
Choose to Live
Breathe Despite
             ... Good Day!
                        WW III

Words to you Mothers

I raise my glass
To all the moms
For always knowing
What's going on
For always making time
For all the activities
For having Faith
And believing thee
For the caring and loving
You always provide
For your goofiness
Just for a smile
For all the sleepless nights
We kept you awake
When we were sick
Or stayed out late
For any disagreements
We may have had
For anything else
That made you mad
We hope you're proud
Of who we've become
We are who we are
Because of your Love


                   .... Cheers!
                           WWIII

New Day ...

Rise today
And offer new meaning
Share your Blessings
With who has been giving
Let them know
They are not forgotten
Share with them 
Your appreciation


To whom I share my heart
Love you, Thank you, and Bless you
((( <3 )))

                    ... New Blessings
                                   WWIII

To see the future, you must look at your past.

Is that to say learn from your mistakes and try not to repeat them?

Who you were is not who you are
And who you are is not who you will be

Growth and change are ever occurring.
Have a Positive Mental Attitude!
Be Thankful! Be Kind!
Be Mindful! Let the person you are Shine!
The gift you are presented with 
Is not meant to let slip away
With your heart, capture the moment!

Sleep Tight

I cry at night
Not from sleeplessness
More of a terrifying fear
I may not wake
I think of cherished memories
And of memories I'd like to make
Yet in the morning
When my eyes open
I'm just Thankful
I'm awake

Challenge ...

With a smile on my face
I greet this day
Filled with unknowns
Come what may
With smart decisions
And steady thoughts
I'll flow like water
I won't be stopped
With Positivity
I'll fill the void
Moving swiftly
I'll kill the noise
With a smile on my face
I'll make it through this day
With divine help
I hope and pray



          ... daily

                  WWIII

Await no more, ...

Darkness falls on a fading light
Star light, Star bright
Don't give up the fight
Shine, rise with all your might
Defeat the darkness in your plight
Never give up
Fight the good fight
Become the beacon
Inspire by sight
Lead those who's struggles
Reflect the night
Show them it's worth delight
Ease thy pain
Do it right
To thy darkness
I bid Good Night


              ... rise!
                    WWIII
