Be a Shining Star
Posted on: January 16, 2014
You too can become a shining star.
Set your goals high and you can go far.
Don’t let others discourage you
In telling you that you never can do
Because the choice is totally up to you
For you are capable of achieving
If you really start believing;
When you finally go out there
And give it your all.
You would be surprised at how well
You will shine
And that is the best revenge you can do
That doesn’t involve any crime.
So continue to do be the best you can be
And your true radiance will soon shine through,
Allowing others to see your beautiful view
Because it is not just beauty they see on the outside now
But your true beauty is astounding making you a shining star,
Leaving others looking at you thinking that is amazing on how you have come so far.

Cell Phone Craze
Posted on: January 13, 2014
Cell phones are the new craze.
It seems like this is more than just a phase.
Now a days most people have them
And they sometimes can cause such mayhem.
It is not just for the young but for the old as we know.
People are getting too much dependent on them
And taking them wherever they must go;
Some people take them even into church
And the ringers go off during service,
Leaving them scrambling to search
So they can quiet it down
As its sound is aggravating parishioners all around,
Especially in the nearby rows;
People must know this ought to be a big no, no.
They even take them in the restaurants where they eat
Or when they go to bed to sleep;
If they don’t have them with them, their life feels so incomplete.
That is why they also take them in the car
Where some even text on them
Where an accident is then waiting to happen
And if this is you,
You know exactly who you are.
Cellphones are even taken into the restrooms too
Because people sometimes carry them in their pockets since they are usually stuck to them like glue.
This is not always the wisest place for them to be kept
As these cellphones have been known to fall into these porcelain bowls where they do get wet,
Causing the owner to be upset and so they may have wept.
Do you really need to carry these phones everywhere you must go?
If you insist on doing so, always having this phone with you in tow,
Then why not try shutting it off for awhile
And allow your friends and family time with you
As they must miss your smile;
Although the cell phone as become the new craze
Let us not forget the importance of family and friends
In our present and future days
Because you don’t want to live your life in regret
That you didn’t give that loved one the time and love that they deserve Since the two of you have met.
This could become a greater problem or even a greater threat.
Because they may not be around forever
Or if it is your significant other,
They may get sick of the lack of time spent
And leave you all together.
Don’t let your cellphone be the centre of your life
Or the happiness will be missing, since all is left is actually strife.

Life is Too Important
Posted on: January 5, 2014
Life is too important to take for granted
So enjoy every moment with those in your life
That GOD has planted.
It is with our busy lives, we tend
To not make the time like we should
For our loved ones that we actually could;
Why not take the initiative
To text, call or visit,
We need to take positive action,
Rather than sitting back waiting for a banquet invitation;
Don’t wait for trouble coming to brew
Or for a friend to come down with a flu
Before you show that person the importance they are to you.
What are you waiting for?
You need to stop what you are doing right now
And make that important call to exit out your door
To visit that someone who is long over due
For that special time to be spent with you;
You will feel so glad you did
When you are greeted with that smile
That is hard to outbid;
If anger is keeping you from taking action
There is no better reason
Than to let this negativity all go
Or your life will be unhappy as you must know.
Remember life is too short to loose time
With that loved one.
You don’t want to live your lives with sorrow
Or regret that you cannot out run,
So why not try something you may not be used to and that is “forgiveness”, it is not just meant for some but for everyone.
You would be surprised of the blessings that will follow
Because more happiness in your life will soon shadow,
So what are you waiting for because next year is already here?
And I am sure your choices are now clear,
This is what you need to do for joy in your life to appear.

New Year, New Beginnings
Posted on: January 3, 2014
At the beginning of each New Year promises are being made,
As New Year’s Resolutions are being played.
It is a chance to make a new beginning,
“As in out with the old and in with the new.”
It is a chance to make a fresh new start now too.
Maybe your goal is to lose a few pounds or two,
Or to quit smoking or to limit your time watching television,
As you are there for wee hours
Because your eyes are usually stuck to it like glue;
Maybe you have even decided to keep a cleaner home,
Or to volunteer more of your time to those who live alone.
Another thing you may have chosen to do
Is to eat healthier and eat less takeout food,
Even though your mind and stomach always crave it all the time
Because it is so familiar with it is since that is what it has gotten so used to.
There are so many resolutions you could make
But the unfortunate matter is these things may be easy to do at first,
But just as easy to fall back on and break.
You can do it,
Whatever you set your mind to
Because there is an inner strength to all of you
That you may have not known,
Because that side of you may have been hidden
And possibly never shown;
We can accomplish what we may never thought possible to do,
But with faith and determination
Our goal, our resolution can become true.
The most important thing to remember is to never give up
On what you set out to do
Because that resolution of yours can be mastered
By believing in yourself;
This can be easily accomplished
When you take on a more positive outlook or change your point of view.
