Cancer Sucks

It takes so many

And without discrimination,

It effects so many, not just the one it affects.

 

Some will fight and beat you,

Others will put up a long, tough fight,

But in the end, they lose the battle.

 

You fought so hard,

You never gave up,

You may have lost to cancer,

But you are the winner with all of us,

You knew when it was time to let go,

To stop fighting,

And that my friend takes more courage and strength

Then to stand up and fight cancer,

It may have taken your body,

But your spirit remains inside all of us.

 

You came into each of our lives,

You left an imprint on our souls that will be there for the rest of our living years,

You left us with your love, sarcasm,

Showed us compassion, and how to strive and thrive.

 

You my friend will be missed each day and every day

for the rest of our lives,

Rest in peace,

You are now whole again,

Until we meet again.

 

 

The Plan

 

I am pretty sure God has a plan,

I wasn’t always sure before,

Although as each day begins,

I believe it is so,

although it doesn’t stop us from

making plans.

When we make plans,

it makes Him laugh,

we’re told all in good time,

our plans will happen

when the time is right,

we just need to stick to the plan,

as written,

His plan and trust,

everything happens for a reason.

 

We will always make our own plan,

Just because,

We want to try speed up results,

As life is too short as we know it,

The trick is not to stress or fuss

When it doesn’t go as we planned.

 

No need to stress

Or fuss,

Just need to trust,

He will deliver

At the right time.

 

 

 

 

 

Hey folks! If ya'll are still out there? I know it's been a hot minute since I been on here. Life has gotten in the way, and I hate that I let it, but it is what it is, right?  However, during the time I have been away, I published a new poetry book- on Amazon. Go get you a copy! Working on a few other writing projects. Stay tuned. 

Conformity

2020,

Has been one humdinger of a year,

Some if not all would like to forget and have a do over, 

Any level of bailiwick to make it better and go away is as simple common sense,  or compassion for other humans, 

Only a juggernaut could come up with something like covid, and it is possible and I do not doubt something like this in lewe of what our country is becoming, do not get me wrong I still love my country, I served my country, but...I will not conform to one side or another, freedom to live as who I am, that is what make this country so great. 

It’s not too late 

To turn it around,

Stop listening to others 

Think for yourself, 

That’s what “they” want, for us not to think for ourselves, I dare you. 

Be kind.

“Stay strong 

Speak true

Spread peace

Choose only love”

58 Days

58 DAYS

 

58 days with you,

Opening your home, your heart,

Singing for us,

Sharing your life with us,

Feeling like we know you even more,

We are family,

Though we are strangers,

We are family,

We understand,

You understand us,

Teaching us,

Loving us,

As we love you,

Therefore we,

grieving along, side of you,

we don’t know you,

yet we feel like we do,

we are feeling your loss,

as if you were our best friend,

You have been so open with us

Through your music,

And especially these last 58 days

Of opening her home, heart, sharing, and singing,

Sharing her life with us during these crazy times we are living.

 

As we first heard of your son’s death,

We were in shock,

Disbelief,

It made us sad,

Tears came rushing to the surface,

It was like losing the son of our best friend.

The first 24 hours,

The pain flowed through veins,

Several days later,

We still feel the heartache,

Grieving along side you and your family.

 

Hearing such news,

Triggers something inside us,

Bringing all hurt flooding back,

Causing us to grieve a little all over again,

We will be ok,

as we listen to your music.

It soothes the soul,

Brings peace to our hearts.

 

Be Strong,

Speak True,

Spread The Peace,

Choose Only Love.

 

update....

been a long time I know, since I have been on here. work, and working on a manuscript (my first non fiction book), and just enjoying a simple life.
the manuscript I am working on is about my culinary journey and other aspects of the business and my life. opening doors to more opportunities.
always keep your options open, try new things, keep growing.
love as much as you can, there is no room for hate, that doesn't mean you wont get frustrated with things or people, but we don't have to like someone to love. there is no room in this world for hate ignorance. we all breathe the same air, we live on the same soil. we are all I the same storms just different boats.
stay humble and kind.

essence of time

passion
follow your heart,
happiness within
do what you want,
do what makes you happy,
not what you have to just to survive.

don't settle for less than what you want.
you're only killing time, that you don't have,
time is of the essence.
