I am not curing. I am healing and restoring.
I am not fearing. I am loving and trusting.

Life's too short to be wasted.
It passes just once, so make the most out of it.
Live life the way you want it to be.
Live it to the fullest, feel free!
Great poem with a feel good tone to it, good work.
Believe in yourself and you can achieve
Things you never thought possible.
Believe in yourself and you can discover
New talents hidden inside of you.
Believe is my favorite word from the Bible. Thank you for this. It reminded me today of people and equality. Remember next time you get down on your luck that each of us are equally as...

Be like the willow that bends,
shade that it sends,
peace that it lends.
This is an amazing poem - saying so much in very few words. Things don't always go the way we want, and sometimes we have to adapt and do so cheerfully - a very important lesson. It is also...
When into sorrow, my poor soul sinks
When a sound of despair in my heart rings
I'm strongly pushed to do my best
By a voice that says, "There is still hope you dare not rest."

Life doesn't frighten me at all
Maya Angelou may be dead, but her kids' poems are forever! Long live the kids' poetry of Maya Angelou!
We wait for what we long for.
We long for what we need.
Impatience and anxiety
Give root to errant deed,

Every time I try and sit and try and make a change,
I always try and think of things that I could rearrange.
And when I find the meaning of life and lessons that are taught,
I connect with you totally. I think of this and that, try to do and live differently, yet I remain in the circle of life's hostility.
I sit upon my front porch stoop
Beneath the morning sun.
Grateful for the moment spent
Away from everyone.
I do so enjoy your poems - keep writing. Best wishes, Ann
