Strength Of The Letter “F”
Emotional Support
Pause…Breathe…Reset
Sometime when we are
stressed, depressed, worried or have anxiety,
being alone in our thoughts
can be unhealthy
So take a step back, breath,
clear your mind
and make it a point
to seek out family and friends
Spending time with them
will reset your perspective on life
and will help you gain insight
The wonders of
friendly advice, loving support and good laughs
will do your soul wonders
So relax, for it’s not the end of the world
You will get through it and
come out stronger in the end
with a robust confidence
backed by an eternal well of hope
Being Genuine
Being kind and caring

Display your inner self,
share love from your heart
Showing compassion
is a tremendous virtue
Be there for those in need,
valuable words bring clear view
Giving of yourself
brings out all that you are
Spread love and respect,
in life you’ll go far.
“My Family and Friends” in Six Words
“They are my pillars of strength!“
Life’s Blessings
Every day when I wake,
I take stock in what I have…
the strength from loved ones,
devotion from my family,
support from my friends,
affection from my pets,
my strong faith in God
Because of these simple things,
I take comfort in knowing
that I can take on…
any challenge,
face any dilemma,
make life changing judgements
without hesitation and total clarity
Because life is all about…
seeing what’s around us,
having an appreciation for all that we have,
a sense of gratitude for things we are given,
and the knowledge for making a difference,
not just in our lives
but in that of others
It is only then,
when we realize this
that we will truly feel
we’ve been bequeathed with
life’s blessings.

The Love From A Pet
Having a family pet
is truly a blessing from the start,
they give their all, and more, to you
warms the bottom of your heart
Their warm and gentle eyes,
soft fur and cheerful grin,
their playfulness and compassion unbound
stirs feelings from within
They’re comforting to the soul
keeping you from a tailspin,
they’re there with you throughout it all
in it through thick and thin
To have a family pet, you see,
is to have a friend for life,
they’re there to provide strong stability
through all the stress and strife
The love a pet shares
is unconditionally all to you,
it becomes the greatest gift of all
to the end their hearts be true
So if you’re given the chance
get a loving pet by your side,
experience all their wondrous joy
and hang on for an awesome thrill ride
The Love Of A Child
The love from a child
is most meaningful to see
What comes from their soul
is beautiful and carefree
Their love is unconditional
straight from the start
It’s unwavering and bountiful
warm the cockles of your heart
Their innocence, their laughter
their unabashed delight
Their huge, beaming smile
a pure treasure at first sight
The emotions you get from a child
sensations so pure and true
They wear their heart on their sleeve
on full display for you
So when a child comes to you
and gives you their all
Accept it post haste
be at that child’s beck and call
