As long as
you have your unshakeable self,
you can dig both feet
into the ground with all your might
and stand firm
As long as
you know who you are,
all your doubts, hesitation and frustration
will disappear
And no obstacle in life
will be impossible
to overcome
You can do all of this
as long as
you remain who you are
Don’t be afraid to make mistakes, otherwise you won’t be able to speak your mind.
Explore the unknown with your writing so that your skills and instincts may rise to greater heights.
When bad things happen
Always know that there is hope
So never falter
Hope produces faith
Faith builds determination
Obstacles subside
Believe in yourself
Make your journey go forward
Hope springs eternal
Believe in yourself and have faith.
Don’t settle in this life,
push through
and
keep moving forward
Don’t give in to doubts,
push through
and
build up your confidence
Once you’re able to
push through,
believe in yourself
and
tattoo that in your heart.
Lost in thought
nowhere to turn,
what have I done
that makes this a concern
I’ve lived a life
of certainty and control,
stayed in my lane
eyes on the goal
But one fateful day
I decided to jump
Heading into the unknown
taking me out of a slump
These unchartered waters,
scary with every wave
What course do I take?
How do I behave?
This path that I’m on
terrifying and new
Has me out of whack
my life a bit askew
With the chips all down
and back against the wall,
staying strong is the key
to endure the long haul
I’ve learned to be patient,
I’ve learned to be kind,
I became more trusting
by using my heart with my mind
This bump in the road
riled with stress and strife,
I’ll get past this somehow
it’s my test in life
I have to be positive
never wavering in thought,
look at all that I’ve done
be grateful for what I’ve got
Life it too short
I’ll do the best that I can,
live for a better tomorrow
“Everlasting Hope” as my game plan.
When all things must come to an end
How do you say goodbye
to the friendships formed through years of…
laughter,
good times,
rough patches,
sorrow,
arguments
The bond that was created was unique,
one that can never be broken
A rapport that can never be extinguished
Is it possible to find that in the unknown?
A place where
you’re new,
vulnerable,
scared
Is there hope in finding
that special connection
with another person again?
One who’ll share
Your smiles,
sadness,
concerns,
fears,
joy,
You can never go back,
you can only cherish that special memory
of a past that you can no longer relive
You can only be grateful,
appreciative,
and carry on
By the grace of God,
with some luck,
you’ll stumble upon a new era
and experience new things
that will resemble the past.
