ONE STEP CLOSER -An Inspirational Acrostic Poem

Overcoming our fears that attempt to control us, if we permit them

Navigating our well-planned itineraries and giving ourselves encouragement

Examining our individual expectations, to evade unnecessary pressure

Staying focused and not allowing our visions to become clouded

Turning our negativity into optimism; energizing our minds

Embracing what we “can do” instead of dwelling on what we “can’t”

Praying for God’s Grace and continual Guidance throughout our journeys

Combining our dreams with reality and stretching our thought abilities

Leaving our failed attempts buried in the forgiving past

Opening our eyes to new, plausible and stimulating opportunities

Supporting ourselves to avoid preventable disappointments

Edging towards our much anticipated, thrilling finish lines

Remembering to view the cup half full; half empty will only deter us~

This isn’t to inspire only for the New Year,
but,  for “forever.”

Blessings to you all~

CHANGES

You don’t listen anymore
You don’t offer your heart
You don’t smile
when I walk through the door

We’re together, yet, so far apart

You don’t bring flowers
at the end of the day
You look right through me
when I have words to say

You don’t kiss me
hello or good-bye
My head is spinning with questions
I ask myself, “why?”

Where have you gone
What have I done
What happened to us
I ask you because
I still love you

PERFECT IMPACT

Crazy in love with the man you are,
not who you want to be,
doubting yourself, constantly
I comfort you
you’re the true match for me

I wish you could feel
when you steal a kiss
how dizzy I become
I’m still stunned at the effect
you have over me
My heart flutters
when you take me so blissfully

I offer you my hand,
walk beside me through life,
calm your mind and understand
as sure as the shore meets the tide
Our souls
were
meant
to
Collide
