‼️WHO ARE THEY‼️

This is what it feels like

This is how it is

I’m fighting away the tear

And urging God’s strength near

I’m hurt and I know why

What makes me want to cry

It’s just a thought or two

And it’s the actions that we do

What is the strength I have to seek?

Many say it’s in my keep

Why can’t I just resist one day

And let the teardrops weep away?

To fall upon my knees and pray

And let the inner demons say

Whatever they want and let it out

So I can rest and live without

I wish it were a happy place

This earth for all the human race

What is the point and why the pain

When love so strong could surely reign

Questions are raised as we evolve

From birth we seek but to resolve

Demanding answers from divine

We stand afraid in the human line

The idea seems so absurd

For all we know, is all we’ve heard

From those who first did walk the earth

Until the day there is no birth

All along it was always there

Look too hard and never stare

Back to front, it was not

We were told but then forgot

As a being who can breathe

We have two views that we conceive

One is out and one is in

To know thyself is how to win!

‼️CLOSE ENCOUNTER‼️

Hello!

How are you?

I’m here as a friend

There’s really no reason

For this message I send

Hey you!

Yes you!

Reading this line

Just thought I’d pop in

To see if you’re fine

Hi there!

I see you!

You know who you are

I’m not far away

As you sit in your car

Greetings to you!

I thought I’d just say

I see you’re alone

And don’t know the way

Good day!

Do you know what?

It’s nice to see you

I know a shortcut

Hey buddy!

How have you been?

It’s been ages ago

Since we have last seen

My dear friend!

It really is nice

When you look at me

Without thinking twice

My brother/sister!

I’ve missed you so much

Where did you go?

Did I not mean that much?

My darling!

I know how you feel

It’s been really hard

When you think it’s all real

My dearest!

Come take my hand

Let’s sit for awhile

And leave this poor land

Oh my soul!

I thought from the start

The sound of your voice

Just ripped me apart

Myself now remembers

This voice in my head

The one who was there

I thought I was dead

This child so familiar

And forgotten in time

But knew all along

That I would be fine

Let this close encounter

Remind all of you

The best friend you needed

Stayed as you grew!

Do you know this voice?

THE GIFT OF TODAY!

When we were so little

The days seemed long

But as we grew older

Another theme song..

There were such events

That may have been sad

And others instead

We wish that we had

Then there were people

Who you came across

Who opened your eyes

When they suffered a loss

It didn’t seem fair

It just wasn’t right

It made no sense

What others thought right

You tried many things

And changed your mind too

You may have felt

A bigger loss too

A part of yourself

Is taken away

When you always live

In this yesterday

There is no joy

The further you go

Away from the self

Who all of you know

In order to live

You must honour this self

It knows all you are

In spite of yourself

The more you do cry

And shed many tears

The more it remains

For so many years

So stop and remember

Right here and right now

Forgive all there is

For you must allow

That in order to stand

You must know that you fall

In order to walk you must

First learn to crawl

What held you back

Is history today

It doesn’t belong

In the gift of today!

Thoughts?

‼️A PROMISE ON OUR WEDDING DAY‼️

Here I stand before you

Strong and unafraid

Committed to a purpose

With a promise to be made

It seems so iridescent

You can see it on my face

For when I hear your voice

My heart does quicken pace

I laugh, I smile, I dare to dream

I share with you a promise

To cherish, love, and admire you

In true committed solace

I share with you my spirit

The address of my soul

To hold you when you need me

My priority and my goal

To you I promise to be true

To hold and be your friend

I hold my vow of promise

My love, until the very end

#PaulaG

*****

Many of our vows have been challenged it’s true,

There are those who have walked away from you

It is not a reflection of you if your vow was ignored

Your essence and pride is the power of your word

A vow is a solemn promise

An oath, a pledge, a bond

A solitary commitment

There is no magic wand

It is an affirmation

One that guarantees

With much attestation

There is no magic wand

To give your word of honour

With passion in your heart

And honoured in your life

Is magic from the start!

*****

“It is the vow we can make that others may break,

It is the joy in the heart that others might hate

If it were up to me I’d refute all abuse

It’s horrid and wrong, there is no truce

From someone who knows, and this is true

To forgive and let go is what we must do.”
