‼️EXACTLY YOU‼️

“Be ok with who you are not
In life you only get one shot”
#Opism

‼️EXACTLY YOU‼️

There’s only one you
In a world full of others
For in a world of clones
There are no colours

If all was the same
And nothing was different
Time would stand still
And love be indifferent 

No feelings to move
Or help to give
No passion at all
Or lessons to live

Unique we all are
And gifted too
Admire the beauty
Inside of you

Add to the rainbow
The merging of colour
Your beauty is needed
And so is your valor

Be your own self
In the spectrum of love
For you are needed
And are a part of

There is nothing
Exactly the same
What can’t be done 
Forever won’t change 

Share with others
Do not copy
This makes life
Really sloppy 

Life is dull
This is true
When you are not
Exactly you

From The Word Jedi Poetess…‼️WHO I CAME TO BE‼️

‼️WHO I CAME TO BE‼️

Today is a day
More special for me
To be introduced
To the world and see

What I did learn
From all the people
I thought to myself
That I was feeble

It wasn’t all bad
Until it got worse
Damn it life
I thought you a curse

On the side of darkness
I met my tormentors
Almost died
So many encounters

My strength was gone
But a pen held me
All feelings discussed
In my poetry

Hidden for years
But some were shared
Birthdays of children
And those that I cared

Writing on papers
Stories and essays
Helped me ignore
The journey with bullies

Until I gave
My life back to God
And believe as well
For I never thought

What would be next
Now that I cared
But God said my child
“It’s time to share!”

I knew without saying
I felt in my heart
It was time to give
And let the words out

We all have a gift
In the land of living
For some it takes time
To see what we’re given

So here on my birthday
A poem wrote to me
From The Word Jedi Poetess
That I came to be

A Poet with a golden word gun
Will battle for everyone 
From the gun of a Jedi poetess
Words like lightning we notice
‘And I am...all the Jedi’
‘Use the force.  Think’

❤️COMPLETELY❤️

❤️YOU COMPLETED ME❤️

On this day years ago
I saw you the first time
I held your heart so close to me
It use to count on mine

Your little face looked at me
The laughing gas wore off
But overjoyed I was elated
And loving was the cause

Your older sister asked for you
I told her God plans for
She must have charmed the angel
Who answered heaven’s door

When she requested little sister
They sent you right to me
Some people are just needed
To define a family

In all my preparations
I saw how life could be
I asked dear God also
To lend me his baby

On this day that you were born
That angel came to see
A master plan was taking place
And you completed me

The part I like the best
Your birthday close to mine
The greatest gift to have
And think of all the time

The little years you grew
In times of up and down
You always took away
The wrinkle of a frown

I remember oh so well
The Monster movie too
They must have seen your face
And created little “Boo”

In school you had to write
About a life story
Of someone who passed on
We picked Freddie Mercury

I still laugh at how you tried
And saw how you persuade
You tried like hell to get me
To rewrite your own essays

A member of a team
Soccer kept us busy
The many hours driving
Are precious memories

Both wisdom and advice
Was given and received
This single parent tried
To help you to believe

The gift you give to me
The one I cherish most
A reason to find hope
When life was just a ghost

#PaulaG

❤️Completely❤️

My little girl
Is a leader
Taught me how
To believe her

Little did I
Know that day
That all she is
Would help me stay

From the love
Of a mother
A little girl
Will discover

She’s the star
I wished upon
Completed me
When she did come

Part of a team
Soccer stars
She held on
And went far

Learned the ways
Of the world
She stayed kind
Never spoiled

Many times
Over the years
I love you mom
In my ears 

To this day
Says I’m beautiful
Right to my heart
She keeps it full

Now she is
A full grown lady
Happy Birthday
To my baby

#PaulaG

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY PRECIOUS BABY! 

‼️THE POINT IS…‼️

“If you remain in one spot
You miss the point”
#Opism


‼️THE POINT IS...‼️


Keep scrolling
Or stop and read...
Remember this
Control your feed


Social media
Is full of stuff
Sometimes it is
Just too much


If you don’t like it
You can leave
But do not like
Just to please


When you choose
And spend some time
You might see more
When you are kind


Stubborn decisions
Made in haste
Are paralyzed
And just waste 


A point is missed
When you aren’t open
Once it’s made
Judgement has spoken


So many points
Dot dot dot...
Go where you want
Pick your spot


You have a say
In what you want
Leave the feed 
And take a jaunt


If you ask
What is the point
Think before
You disappoint


We do not know
Another’s view
Unless they try
To share with you


Be objective
Let them be
Points are subjective
Individually

‼️WHAT REALLY MATTERS‼️

“Mind over matter
Will matter to you
When all that matters
Is nothing to mind”
#Opism


We cannot buy #happiness, nor can we keep applying it to that which we will obtain. Look right now all around you...
What do you see👁👀⁉️


‼️WHAT REALLY MATTERS‼️


Food, clothing, shelter and health
If this is covered you have wealth
Money, things, places to visit
When you die, you can’t leave with it 


Friends, family, food and warmth
Fresh water too from the earth
All that you have at this very moment
When one is missing you surely know it


What you pine after
Is something for later
Why spend time
Being a chaser


See all around you
While you’re alive
What do you need
For you to survive


What matters first
Not what you want
But what you have
Without the flaunt


If there’s a time
You need reminding
Think of these words
That I keep writing


If you let things
Control your journey
You lose the way
And stay hungry


Knowing a loss
Is really a win
When you know this
You’re in charge then


To want and chase
We hurt and reject
The ones we love
And want to protect


Keep in mind
What really matters
Let go of the stuff
That makes life shatter


To love one another
To love within you
If you don’t feel this
You need a clue


True happiness lies
When life is pleasing
Nothing else matters 
If it isn’t breathing


Life isn’t for sale
And what matters is free
No one can afford
To replace you and me

‼️ALLOW YOUR CRY‼️

“The place to dry tears
Is on the shoulder of years”
#Opism

‼️ALLOW YOUR CRY‼️

Do you want to cry
Are you sad and upset
Are you home all alone
Did you slam down the phone

Did it happen just now
Was it something said
Did a memory return
And replay in your head

Do you hold it all in
Or sob very loud
Whimper in sadness
Or just don’t allow

Are you responding
A goal you lost sight
Sink to the floor
Or put up a fight

Are you greatly lamented
And dare make a sound
Forever just haunted
As you look around

To curse as you yell
Is also release
If you allow this
What tears do you cease

A silenced moan
Will escape softly
Holding it in
Can be more costly

To not allow feelings
Is nothing to gain
What’s locked inside
Will try again

No one to talk to
Hurt and confused
Jailed in grief
Leads to the blues

There are others
In fact millions
At the same time
Crying for reasons

To suffer alone
We pay the dues
To share your tears
Really helps you

When no one is there
Remember who’s with you
The shoulders you own
And all they’ve been through

It’s not any wonder
To ask your God why
And then realize
Inside you he lies

Waiting for you
To find and discover
For He knows how
To help you recover

There is no cure
If you don’t cry
What takes time to love
Takes time to die

If held back in fear
This is not sorrow
The chains of burden
Hold down tomorrow

Embrace your nature
Allow your tears
They will soon dry
On the shoulder of years
