Shine

{Post: 214/365}

there is a light

inside you

inside me

sometimes

another person

helps us to see

and to shine

with our own light

sometimes they are

the spark we need

to be set on fire

to shine like the sun

to burn with a flame

to feed the fire

of our dreams 

of our heart

of our soul

and we are

forever changed

forever opened up

to the light

inside us

we blossom like a flower

we sparkle

we shine like the sun

and we know

that we are ALL

beautiful

JOY

Sometimes

{Post: 152/365}

sometimes

when you

tell me a story

I listen

and I learn

what the story

means to you

and sometimes

I am given a glimpse

of something deeper

something that was NOT said

but is also

very important

and sometimes in this way

I KNOW and FEEL

the deeper insides of you

and then I can give you

something you needed

that you didn't even ask for

or KNOW that you needed

sometimes

I can reach into the darkness of you

shine a light

and heal a broken, hurt place

and all I want to say

so that you know is...

I HEAR you!

I Wish to BE

{Post: 151/365}

I wish to be

a ray of sunshine

to brighten your day

I wish to be

the light

that shines into darkness

I wish to be

a smile on your lips

and a lift to your heart

I wish to be

a warm hug

of love and compassion

I wish to be

a sweet friend

you wish never to do without!

;)

Blossom

{Post: 79/365}

like a flower 

blossoms

from a small sprout

lifting and

opening its face

to the sun

so too

do we

lift our faces

open our hearts

to someone

who shines a light

in our darkness

and touches

our soul

MY Smile

{Post: 72/365}

it begins
with a warm feeling
in my heart
and flows
from heart
upward and outward
into my eyes
and on my face
it is the countenance
I offer to you
my friend
from
the warmth of my heart
and my
smile

The Light in My Life

{Post: 66/365}

the light in my life

is a friend

who lifts my spirit

when I am down

the light in my life

is a kitty

who warms my side

while encroaching on my space

the light in my life

are my two boys

who for no reason at all

will hug me and say, "I love you, mom!"

the light in my life

is my daughter

who dances to her own beat

and  I admire her

the light in my life

is a step-father

who calls me his "darling daughter"

and has a beautiful and generous heart

the light in my life

is my mother

who may not always agree with me

but will back me fiercely anyway

the light in my life

is hubby

who is my soulmate

and my best friend...always

the light in my life

is each soul connection made

whether here in my presence

or through the miracle of the internet

the light in my life

may be...

YOU

Sunshine After the Rain

{Post: 56/365}

there is always

sunshine

after the rain

there is always

hope 

after the pain

there is always

a story

behind someone's eyes

there is always

a reason

for wanting to cry

there is always

a choice

between sorrow and joy

there is always

a voice

that can touch deep inside

there is always

another 

step you can take

there is always 

another

choice you can make

there is always

a light

at the end of the tunnel

there is always

hope

for a brighter tomorrow

there is always

a reason

to keep keeping on

there is always

faith

to keep our hearts strong

there is always

sunshine 

after the rain

there is always 

love

to ease the pain

open your eyes 

Shine a LIGHT

{Post: 18/365}

life is full

of sorrow

and hardship

sometimes it is hard

to find the light

we look to our friends

for comfort

and encouragement

even then it is hard

to see the light

each of us

has a beauty

inside us

we must remember that

we ARE the light

when we see

the truth

and the power

we carry inside

we share our own light

find the power

and flame

inside yourself

and share it with the world

SHINE a LIGHT
