Time to sort out the clutter,
Take a moment to prioritize goals.
There is promise of fulfillment if you pursue,
Savor the fruits of your labor.

Take a moment to prioritize goals,
Have intentions focused on a clear path,
Enjoy the sweetness that life brings.

There is promise of fulfillment if you pursue,
Hard work generates abundance,
Believe in the dream you set.

Savor the fruits of your labor.
Be grateful for the workers alongside you,
Accomplishing the impossible can be done again.

Together, We are Children

A guardian I am to thee,
A star of hope you are to me.
Together, we are children
Striving to be the best we can be;
Our love is our unity.
 
We are unique separately,
We both shine magnificently.
Together, we are children,
Representing a fun simile,
Companions on two journeys.
 
-Together, we are children-
 
Companions on two journeys
Representing a fun simile,
Together, we are children.
We both shine magnificently,
We are unique separately.
 
Our love is our unity.
Striving to be the best we can be,
Together, we are children.
A star of hope you are to me,
A guardian I am to thee.

Have Faith It Becomes

Don’t claim control,
Let nature take its course to grow,
Have faith it becomes.

I wrote this haiku at a time I felt confused as a mother and uncertain as a person. In times of uncertainty and parenting, the temptation to claim control feels like a lifeline. Though feeling unsafe, it’s important to respect nature’s course and allow growth to have its meaning. Faith must be kept in all endeavors, especially when feeling uncertain.

A Mother Offers Hard Love

The lioness roars,
Setting her rules in place.
She doesn't know what will be,
She only listens to what she feels.

Her cub wanders away,
She picks them up by the neck,
Putting them in place to learn.
She's not always soft or approachable.

A mother offers hard love,
She does what she can to guide.
She doesn't know what will be,
She only listens to what her instincts tell her.

Her children will grow to leave,
She won't prevent them from becoming.
She will always be who she is,
With hope that she's done her best for her clan.

I am Not Alone on My Journey

I was a scrap piece,
I need to feel loved.
Help me see purpose,
Lead me where you may.

~ I am not alone on my journey ~

Soft breeze whispering,
Make space for the greatness of all.
An abundance of love surrounds you,
Lighting the night sky.

The first lines of poems I posted in February 2022 inspired this poem.
