The wind in your hair Sand on your feet The serene sounds of water On a beautiful white beach Palm trees swaying Kids are playing Birds are flying No one is crying You are at peace With your surroundings A quiet place No sad faces There is no war No fighting going on People are kind And full of love The skies are blue Picture perfect place No chaos No place for hate The streets are gold The gates are white The music is playing The tunes just right You see family You see friends And this time around There is no end Everyone wears a smile That extends from ear to ear All eyes are dry No more shedding tears No more violence or chaos You are with God and Christ Do right in this life And you will arrive at this Paradise
A little something from me to you to remember in this lifetime.
The Sky Is The Limit...
Dreams and Motivation Determination and Pursuit of Happiness;
Do what you do to get where you need to get Never allow anyone to deter you;
Don't feed into negativity There is a positive in every negative situation;
As the song goes "Tell Your Storm" That it won't last long;
Don't give up Keep fighting for what you believe in;
Remember "The race is not won by the swift nor the strong, but to the one who endureth until the end" In order to get something, you have to fight for it;
Be humble in your journey It will earn you overwhelming strength;
Pray the entire duration You need a good friend to see you through the difficult times;
Keep your head high as you reach for the stars The only obstacles you cannot overcome are the ones you've determined you cannot hurdle over - MIND OVER MATTER;
Be strong, be bold, take charge of your situation The Sky is the Limit and you are a winner.
Message In The Poem: Time waits for no one and nothing. If you have dreams, aspirations, motivations, go for it now, don't sit back waiting and watching time pass you by just to realize that 5, 10, 15 yrs have gone pass and you are doing the same'ole thing, with the same'ole people, in the same'ole place. Don't let time pass you by, grab hold of it and fly with it. Handle your business now, in the present, because I always say "if you live in the past, you'll by pass the present and be lost in the future." Don't allow your life to pass you by - Live your life, make that move, take that chance, but don't just sit on your hands - otherwise you'll find yourself having gone no where, having done nothing and still hanging with the nobody's.
TICK-TOCK
They dropped out of high school, Starting hanging on the streets, Getting arrested, By the same cops on the beat. Parents going to the station, Trying to figure out what’s going on, Waiting for some answers, So their kids can come home. Kids get released, Having no consideration, Right back on the streets, Without any hesitation. Giving their parents a hard time, Not wanting to listen, Just out for themselves, On a personal mission. Family has talked to them, Telling them to get it together, But they only want to hang out, No matter what the weather. Attempts at education, Worked for some, but not for all, So they headed back to the streets, Winter / Spring / Summer / Fall. Before they realized, Years had passed them by, Still doing the same’ole thing, At the age of Twenty-Five. Time waits for no one, The hands on the clock – Still hanging on the block The silence, then the sound, Of the Tick and the Tock.
TGIF!!!!! Through the hustle and bustle of this week, its finally Friday! Through this weeks madness/stress/frustrations, I would like to take us into the weekend with one of my poems, so until next week, continue to be blessed and be a blessing to others. Much Love ~ Yo aka Poetic Flow...
Daily Prayer
Father God head of my life Help me today to get it right Let me not hold on to yesterdays madness But latch on to today’s gladness Make me a better person by every second, minute and hour Help me bloom today like a beautiful flower May I remember who is in control Who has the floor Who has helped me walk through a new door Let me not beat up on myself Or be so frustrated with another That it changes my attitude Towards my sisters and my brothers Thank you God for waking me this day And starting me on my way Let me not get weary by what others say But help me to continue to pray I ask that you make me strong when I seem weak Help me to maintain a powerful physic Let not my appearance seem overbearing but humble / meek And give me the proper words to speak Help me this day and those to follow To understand I should never wallow For you are my strength day and night You provide me with an awesome might So Father God I ask you again To walk with me as my day begins Stand by my side through it all Making sure I will not fall Help me pick the right words When I open my mouth Let the beauty of your love Flow right on out Word after word, layer after layer This Father God is my daily prayer
Hey Shelomith...Just stoppin by to say hi and to bless your page with a little something from me...
Poetic Flow
This poetic flow that I have My pen to the paper, damn I’m bad The words just guide From my hand to the pad It’s like a thought unfinished Until my hand and wrist get to itching Then the words flow out so slick, so smooth Like my personality, so very cool It just hits me like a flash of light That’s when I begin to write Rhyming words and phrases Always giving praises I don’t know how I got it Where it came from But I take my pen and paper And with a thought I run Writing words as they come to mind Never hesitating, just writing my rhymes I don’t know how it happens, but one thing I do know God has blessed me, with this Poetic Flow…
