The challenge is not to think the worst but to have a positive outlook instead. We manifest ourContinue reading “Think The Best”
I Swung From the Willow
I swung from the willow,so careless and free;from ground to air,her strong branches carried me. In the shade of the willow,our secrets we shared;two best friends just sitting,all frustrations were aired. We met at the willow,and smiled as we talked;somehow we returned there,whenever we walked. The willow meant comfort,a safe place to rest;all who walkedContinue reading “I Swung From the Willow”

We Break Free
We leap, and fall,trying to leave the land of failuresand loneliness behind;striving to clear the hurdlesand reach the land of dreams,where our hopesand desires dwell,waiting for us to reach them. But when we fail,we must try again,refusing to dwellin the land of sorrows;where tears create riversthat silently flow,and fears create barrierswith bristles and thorns.
