Hope

{Post: 352/365}

belief

in a positive outcome

for whatever

dreams

choices

and enterprises

are your life hope

a DESIRE

with 

expectation

of fulfillment

belief

that dreams

really do

come true

the act

of setting your eyes

and heart

higher

than knowingly possible

and yet

KNOWING

what will be, will be

Working

{Post: 348/365}

working 

towards

goals

and ideas

a story

brought to

life

hope and purpose

built into

worlds

created

to keep me

moving

and working

towards

goals

Making Things Happen

{Post: 347/365}

tired

of being tired

and napping

my life away

will have to 

get busy

working towards

my goals

one step at a time

one day at a time

making things happen

I Wish You

{Post: 343/365}

I wish you no harm

no ill will

no hatred

no sorrow

no pain

that you can't handle

I wish you no hurt

no damage

no broken hearts

no losses

that you can't rise above

I wish you joy

and friendship

love

companionship

gratitude

understanding

and compassion

for whatever

hurts you DO endure

and above all

I wish you

the power

the wisdom

and the journey

required

to find YOURSELF

Sometimes

{Post: 338/365}

sometimes
I don't know
where to find
the faith
the belief
in myself
or in anything else
really
it is not
my nature
to be positive
I am a
melancholy soul
but I try
to find the silver lining
and see the light
and the positive
and keep moving forward
even when it is hard
sometimes

Keep On

{Post: 337/365}

finding a purpose

finding a reason

to fight

to carry on

to move forward

to keep going

to breath

to live

to keep trying

NOT to give up

NOT to lie down and die

is some days

very easy

and some days

nonexistent

and all i can do

is hope that the darkness

will subside again

and the purpose

and the reason

will find another way

to shine

and remind me

to keep on

keeping on

My Gift to You

{Post: 333/365}

it is small

and dainty

but made by my hands

crafted with all the love

in my heart

and given

with the spirit

of hope

that

everytime

you see it again

and hang it on your tree

you will be reminded

that you are

cherished

appreciated

and loved

my gift to you

Colours of Christmas

{Post: 329/365}

breathing in

the colours

and emotions

of Christmas

tree shining

and twinkling

with lights

in blue, red, yellow, orange and green

and shiny

ball ornaments

in purple, silver, red and blue

catching the lights

glass icicles and angels

sparkling in the branches

santas, balls, bells

and cute little critters

in all the vibrant colours

adorn the Christmas tree

and my heart

is full of all the

peace, love and hope

of the season

I LOVE it!

Embrace the Changes

{Post: 328/365}

getting down to

the wire

coming to the end

but it is also

a beginning

to the next bend

in the road

the next project

every closed door behind

leads to an open door

forward

all that is left

is the willingness

and ability

to walk through it

and embrace

new challenges

embrace the changes

I have HOPE

{Post: 326/365}

days full of stress

worry

visits to Drs.

social worker

and case worker

and eventually

the job is done

sent in the mail

and out of my hands

it is out in the universe

and I have hope

for better days 

around the corner

I have HOPE

The Day

{Post: 319/365}

it's a new day

closer and closer

to THE day

the day when 

all my work

all my effort

all my blood, sweat and tears

will PAY

will mean something

if only

that I finished

what I started

and it was

BIG

My HOPE

{Post: 304/365}

I found this poem in one of my stacks of papers. I don't remember when I wrote it but I would like to share it now.

once upon a moment

I carried a dream

in my womb

he touched my heart

for only a moment

but I have not

forgotten

I will never forget

he wasn't mine to keep

but he was, IS

and always will be

a cherished moment

of HOPE

I Want to Share

{Post: 295/365}

what is the truth

of healing

dare I hope

for an ending

far different

than the one 

I expect

is there another path

is there another choice

or is this it

the journey I must take

the lessons I will learn

the pain I will endure

the fear I will face

the time I may waste

or do I just 

use as much of this time

as I can

to leave something behind

to share what I have learned

to build a bridge for those

who follow behind

and share my fate

share my journey

I don't know the answers

to many of the questions

but I want to share

whatever I can

while I can

I Want to Fight

{Post: 291/365}

today

I want to fight

I want to

be strong

have faith

move forward

and 

embrace change

but 

sometimes

I still get

swallowed

in the darkness

of my life

depression

sorrow

no hope

I need

inspiration

I need 

encouragement

too

but not today

today

I want to

FIGHT

Finding the Way

{Post: 290/365}

finding

my path

finding 

the next bend

in the road

learning

to face it

and embrace it

instead of

freaking out

running for the hills

hiding from the truth

owning my space

sharing my voice

shining my light

growing

into my soul

HOPE

{Post: 287/365}

I have discovered

something

it is small

sometimes

so small that

it seems to 

disappear

and yet

I cannot escape it

it is inside me

deep inside me

this abiding

thing

small

and unnoticeable

but strong

really

unbreakable

just a seed

when nourished

can blossom

into something

unshakable

and fierce

no matter how small

I believe

it is 

my

HOPE
