In the journey of life,
it’s okay
to take the wrong route
every now and then
You might find
some hidden treasure
that can be added
to your memory bank
To Veer Off Path
Spreading positive energy
The Writer’s Blueprint
There are people
that want to be writers
but few are willing to do what it takes
to master the craft
If you’re willing,
what’s the blueprint?
You must be willing
to make an attempt,
to fail,
to learn
You’ll fall at some point,
pause to take on other priorities
or get distracted
If that happens,
just get back on track and try again
Continue with your attempts
until you get it
Continue until you do not
possess self-doubt
Keep getting back up
and
strive to try again
Mark’s Writing Motto #43
Words connect people who are far apart from each other. It creates a life line that forms a bond which
lasts forever.
The Many Attributes Of Words

and
heal a lost soul
The power it wields

Let Your Words Be Your Companion
In life,
there comes a time
when you might feel
a deep sense of loneliness
When that happens,
reach deep
within your inner voice
and let your words
take your side
It will drive away
the loneliness
And you’ll come
to the realization
that you were
never lonely
Mark’s Writing Motto #41
Words carry your heart to those in need.
Don’t Waste Any Time
It’s such a cliché when we say,
“Life’s too short”
but it’s so, so true
Take the time to stop
and enjoy what life has to offer
Play till your muscles ache,
laugh till you cry,
smile till it hurts
Just do everything and anything
while you can
because
you’ll find yourself being too old
when you’re ready to have fun
Mark’s Favorite Quote #7
“You can’t wait until life isn’t hard anymore for you to be happy.”
Stay In Tune
Don’t dwell in the past,
don’t fret about the future,
stay in tune to the here and now
because it helps to focus your attention
and makes the next step
to moving forward easier
Breathe It In
Breathe it in,
everything around you,
the smell of nature,
the warmth of the sun,
the coolness of the rain,
breathe it in
You’re going to worry about work,
money, and material things
but nothing will compare
to how fast time will pass you by so,
breathe it in
The chaos you’ll encounter,
the daily grind you endure,
breathe it in
Even when the monotony
starts to set in,
breathe it in
All the wins and the losses
breathe it in
The time with your family and friends,
breathe it in
Every moment of your journey in life
breathe it in
Enjoy all the big moments,
but truly relish the small ones
because when all is said and done
when you look back on your life
you’ll realize they were all big things,
so…
just breathe it in
