Poetry for people who could use a little kindness
How to listen How to support How to accept How to understand How to heal How to learn How to love
What I learned from my family
Who has listened Who has supported Who has accepted Who has understood Who has healed Who has learned Who has loved
For you I will always Be thankful
A small clearing protected by trees sunlight filtering in warm and safe
A creek trickles through birds chirp overhead the wind rustles the leaves peaceful and quiet
Maybe this place exists hidden away by nature giving shelter to those that need it
A place like this exists in my head I go there when I need a break from life
I know I can always find warmth and safety peace and quiet safety and shelter
In my safe space
Introducing Muck Duck Studio's Rubber Duck Open Mic! Hosted by me!!!
You can tell me that who and what I am is wrong but I won't let it get to me
You can ignore my feelings while rambling on without end but I will still try to listen
You can refuse to consider what I or anyone else wants but I will still ask what you want
No matter how you yell No matter how you argue No matter how you hurt me
I will remember
You're learning You're growing You've got a good heart You will always be my baby boy
And I will never stop loving you
How long have I lived for others? How long have I tried to fit in?
I push down my wants and needs I ignore my own feelings I put on a mask so everyone else will accept me
How far back does it go? How long have I been afraid?
I had questions I never asked Feelings I never expressed Options I never explored all so I wouldn't be laughed at
I don't know how long I may never know But I accept myself now So I'm finished pretending
It's time to be me
Sometimes Life hits HARD too fast to react too strong to take too much to bear and I have to stop and rest When I do I realize I wasn't ready Life was worse than I thought it'd be
It's so easy to become jaded to assume Life will always be this bad
Sometimes Life surprises me it's soft and calming, gentle and kind, warm and loving Life is looking out for me I realize Life was better than I thought it'd be
It's so hard to take Life one day at a time But I still have those moments of kindness to remind me
That Life isn't always as bad As I thought it'd be
The next episode of Rose the Rainbow Mouse is finally here! You can watch it on her MakerTube channel!
In this episode, we talk about growing up, going to school, and the teachers that accepted us no matter how different we were.
In the Land of Fairytales and Rhyme, Rose meets one of those people.
I'm so excited for the new animation, and I've even got subtitles! The audio is a little quiet as I figure out the right settings for my mic.
Thank you all so much for your patience while I got this out. I'm hoping to have the next one up next Saturday, so stay tuned!
It's a sunny day a lovely stroll shiny people a good sleep
Days like this make the world bright the air fresh the sun warm
It won't last forever and tomorrow might be dreary so I'll enjoy today as best I can
I'll breathe the air I'll feel the sun I'll store up the light And I'll enjoy
every moment
When life is too much When it hits too hard It helps to know That I can stop and listen to the sounds of life
Close my eyes Take deep breaths
Listen
Birds Piano Guitar Drums Laughter Song Happiness Rain Love
Life goes on All around me And I know I can listen And remember that I'm not alone
I walk through life taking careful steps because I always do my best to be kind
I don't expect it from others but I still watch out for it because I can always do more to be kind
When I experience kindness especially a brand new sort I remember that new way to be kind
Because I know that random bits of kindness can brighten anyone's day so I'll keep learning and do my very best to be kind
