The Tug

 


I find myself constantly being tugged this way and that way. The tug is real and it affects my heart, my mind, my body, my being! It takes a lot of courage, a lot of strength, and an open mind, to go the right way in this life. It takes a lot of determination, and guts to say, I’m going to stay on track, I’m not going to fall apart, I’m not going to lose my peace. I vow to make myself happy, again.

It takes a lot of courage, to go with the tug. 

Life is full of choices, decisions, and plans.

It’s full of disappointments, celebrations, and meh moments. 

We all have mediocre days. 

It’s up to us, to rise above them. 

Sometimes the mountains are too hard to climb

by ourselves.

But life can be full of passion, love, and incredible friendships! 

Embrace those things.

Life has so much goodness, kindness, and joy. 

But, we must open our eyes, if we truly want 

to see them. 

We aren’t stuck in this journey, me in mine, 

and you in yours.

Our journeys are blessings! 

Within them, we have the chance 

to grow, and learn, and love. 

Embrace your voyage, enjoy it.

Yes, your trek may be filled with many circumstances, both good and bad. 

It all depends on what we do with those 

moments, those events. 

Where are we going to end up?  

What does our future hold? 

Am I supposed to move or stay?

The tug can be quite scary, but as well, it can be quite endearing. 

It’s hard to make decisions,

when your heart is broken.

But honestly, it’s just as hard, when your 

heart is not.

The tug, it’s quite powerful. 

It can tear you up.

But, the tug is also very promising.

The tug can change your life,

The tug just might lead your heart to love again.

Likewise, it can lead to devastation

and heart break. 

But, what if you never respond to the tug?

that being asked, you would never know.

the tug is one of those things, we all encounter at one time o r another. It’s up to us to make the proper decisions, for us, for those we love.

Which way will we go, right or left?

The tug pulls at our hearts, pulls at our minds, pull deep into our soul, and many times

it’s hard to know which road to take. 

One must be taken,  if we want to see change, if we want to move forward.

Promise me, that you will listen with your whole heart, 

Promise me, 

that you will trust, with all your being.

God knows what’s best for you.

Promise me you will go

wherever this crazy, exciting, adventurous,  

tug of life takes you! 

Keep an open mind

an open heart, and enjoy the journey laid out for you.

You will be glad you did.❤️

These eyes

these eyes

have seen 

much pain,

these eyes

are cryin again.

these eyes

have seen 

the light


but right now

they see

only night.


these eyes 

long to

stop hurting

long to

stop seeing,

these eyes,

long to stop

feeling,

this pain.

When

 When will it end? 

this hurt inside 

when will my heart 

feel love again 

when will the tears 

cease to fall 

when will this pain, 

this fear 

disappear?

Please, Let Me Be

 Gin

hidden inside

the coat pocket,

me alone 

in my quiet place. 

all my thoughts 

and dreams 

came true 

that night 

we shared 

our touch, 

we shared 

our love.

those memories 

still haunt me 

the pain 

still alive. 

I can't forget  

the sound

he knock 

on my 

window frame.

the memory

let’s me know 

you 

are still here 

trying 

to torture me, 

even if it’s 

only 

in my brain.

please,

let me be.



thanks friend

 It’s really 

not your 

business 

not your 

problem 

the things 

that 

I’m going through. 

It feels like 

some days are 

hard to pass

hard to let go.

I know that 

you’ve got 

your own life 

one you are 

making 

for yourself, 

things 

you are doing

that occupy

your time.

I have no right 

just coming in 

trying to be 

your friend.

You don’t 

know me 

I don’t 

know you, 

but I still 

wonder 

why we met 

in the first place.

I probably 

always will wonder. 

maybe it was 

just some fluke

some crazy reason 

and we will 

never know why,

but I’ll take it 

even if it’s just 

for a short time.

for that time

I’ll be grateful.

thanks friend

for being my friend.

I Love Words


I love words

I am definitely 

a word girl

I am 

the crazy type 

that listens 

to every word 

in a song 

and then 

I look up 

the meaning 

Of those words

and 

why the writer 

wrote them

in the first place 

I wonder 

why words 

touch my heart 

so deeply

I love poetry 

and writing

I’ve always 

been that way

I believe words 

are quite powerful

they can soften 

the hardest heart

as well as

cut to the core

to me

words 

can reach 

into the depths 

of a persons soul 

where nothing else 

can enter in

I love words

We Rolled Well

 We rolled well, 

you and I.  

You would say 

that looks like blood on the ground, 

I’d say,

it’s probably ketchup. You always wanted to solve a mystery, 

I wanted to make one. You should’ve been a detective, 

I should have been a criminal. 

You made jokes and wore silly masks, 

I dressed professional and wore the business face.

All the kids all loved you, 

You made them laugh.

They came to me for food, 

When they were hungry. 

Yes, 

you and I rolled well, 

we complimented each other beautifully. 

I wish we could still roll together,

today. ðŸ’”

Somebody’s Someone

 You may not be somebody’s 

someone today, 

but you will be,

someday.

Just as the sun 

rises anew, 

everyday, 

God’s blessings 

and mercies,

in our lives also,

are new everyday. 

Be patient, 

pray lots, 

and trust 

in the One 

who knows, 

what’s best 

for you. ❤️

Completely

 She screams 

but no one hears her 

she dies inside 

but no one notices 

her heart is broken 

but no one 

can fix it

Suddenly

She turns to him

He heals her

Completely

Where you are supposed to be

 There’s so much I want to say

I wish that you were here 

I’ve so much love to give 

I wish that you were near 

I’ve so much to show you 

I wonder,

can you hear me 

from that big blue sky?

this life was not my plan

my heart is full of fear 

why did you have to leave why are you not here? 

I wish I had the answer 

I wish the plan was clear 

I wish you were still here

but you’re not,

you are where 

you are supposed to be.


Bring on the Showers

 Bring on the showers!

Showers of blessings

Showers of peace

Showers of joy

Showers of love


Showers are your way

to share goodness

to the world today

If

 If 

I let you 

in my life 

it’s because 

I want you there 

if you 

keep knocking 

and I don’t open 

maybe my heart 

is not ready 

for you

yet

Follow

 I follow 

the beat 

of my own tune.  

If you want me 

to let you in, 

you must ask,

or persuade me,

to follow yours.

Don’t Wait


Don’t wait 

for someone 

to come 

into your life 

and make 

you happy,


you’ll be 

waiting a 

lifetime


It’s your 

responsibility

it’s your choice


Live the life 

that makes 

you  happy.


Dance

 No one can dance,

your dance for you.


if you must,

dance it alone, 

and be happy.

Just the Way You Are

 

I love butterflies

and the ocean’s breeze 

lollipops 

and Shady trees  

Dandelions and dragonflies 

a baby’s laugh 

and tall giraffes 


I love waking up early 

to meet the sunrise 

walking by a creek 

and blue Mountain skies 


I love watching the stars 

and gazing at the moon 

music festivals 

and singing a tune 


but more 

than all of these 


I love you 

you’re my shining star 

you’ll always be 

my dream come true 

my pie in the sky 


I love your smile 

and the way you giggle 

the color of your hair 

and the way you care


I love you always 

I’ll love you forever 

I love everything 

about you 


I love you

just the way 

you are

Let go

 I’ve always 

been a believer 

in what’s 

meant to be

will be

there comes a time 

when you 

must let go 

of things 

in your life

good and bad 

in order to live
