Find the Light

Tue, 18 Feb 2020 02:35:00 +0000

When the darkness sets in and you don't know where to go Close your eyes and focus There's more to this, you must know It's easy to give up hope To throw your arms up and quit To surrender to the dark And let it consume you bit by bit

But there's always something more It's never easy to find But you own your thoughts You control your mind

Find the light It's small and fragile So you've got to work hard to make it stay a while

It could be anything A time when you laughed or smiled Or that moment you played with friends and you all ran wild

It might not stay for long You may have to find it again But it's there, you can find it It's only a question of when

Some Reliability

Tue, 21 Jan 2020 01:39:00 +0000

In the grand scheme of our world we're all pieces of a chain linked together with trust to do our part and pass it on again We must be able to rely on the other pieces To place trust in them to do their jobs To know they'll get the work done To be more than a series of angry mobs

If we can't rely on the other pieces The links in the chain would crumble There'd be no order left standing Only chaos to toss and tumble

There must be some reliability Accountability, discipline, and trust They keep our world turning without them we're little more than dust

Be proud of your place in the chain Whatever you do, give it your all Our world relies on you as much as me And we can't let it fall

The Power of Knowledge

Mon, 16 Dec 2019 15:11:40 +0000

Knowledge is powerful Ignorance is pervasive Wisdom is crucial Care must be taken Knowledge can remove Ignorance If it's given the chance It must be applied with Wisdom And spared more than a passing glance

No one can be forced to listen That's not how being human works We've all lived different lives and developed our own special quirks

Knowledge can't destroy Ignorance alone It only offers the possibility but what people do next is up to them it's now their responsibility

How Sincere is Sincerity?

Mon, 16 Dec 2019 15:08:27 +0000

Sometimes, it's okay to lie Small, tiny things that don't matter But you have to keep account of it Watch them closely, don't let them scatter Sincerity isn't always honest She can't always stay true Even she has to lie sometimes She has bad days too

When someone won't understand the truth Or when it will simply hurt too much But tell too many lies and they will turn into a crutch

Be honest as much as you can Live your life with sincerity Remember to consider others' feelings And always use it responsibly

The Equation of Courage and Fear

Mon, 16 Dec 2019 15:07:04 +0000

It doesn't take courage to ignore your fears It takes ignorance and arrogance Fear is the natural response to potential harm But no matter how small that harm is Fear can still creep in and take control Hold you in place, stop you from acting Muddle your mind, wipe it clean The simplest acts seem daunting with fear in the equation Like speaking out Saying “hello” or “thank you” Standing up for someone in need Isn't it easier to stay quiet Even when a few simple words could change your life Fear says “it's not worth the price” Unless courage is part of the equation Courage isn't the lack of fear It's telling fear “no” Even when your heart's pounding Your mouth's dry and your head's light When fear tells you what could go wrong Courage looks you in the eye and says “Do it anyway”

Friendship Survives

Mon, 28 Oct 2019 13:42:37 +0000

In spite of the times we yelled at one another We got through it together To the years of spaceships and video games Of action figures and code names Through that whole time our friendship survived Even when I went away And you had to stay I came back in a hurry and we enjoyed old movies and curry Together, we'll thrive and our friendship will survive

Even now, we're still together We will be forever Even though we're apart It won't fade, it won't even start We've got the rest of our lives because true friendship survives

Love is...

Mon, 28 Oct 2019 13:40:59 +0000

It's staying together while being hundreds of miles apart It's rolling your eyes and smiling It's missing someone when they're far away It's accepting someone for who they are It's letting someone grow and letting someone go It's taking care of yourself for them While they take care of themselves for you

Love is saying yes instead of no It's hundreds of questions before the sun comes up It's leaving someone with a memory that outlives you It's being together to chase away the pain

Love is you And Love is me

Wings of Hope

Fri, 11 Oct 2019 22:21:00 +0000

Life knocks me down, I get back up Nothing keeps me down, not forever The storm gets worse, I rise up I can bear some bad weather Flying on the wings of hope I’ll soar above my fears The sun shining on clouds below I’ll wipe away my tears

Life gets hard, I get harder It’s tough, but it’s all I’ve got I’ll stick it through, pushing farther Living every day for me and my lot

Flying on the wings of hope I’ll look to the rising sun Ignore my doubts and woes Learning to have some fun

Some days it’s hard to get up On my mistakes I sometimes dwell But my heart won’t let me give up I know all will be well

Flying on the wings of hope Rising above the pain There’s no time to mope I’ve got to enjoy the rain

Flying on the wings of hope Remembering the people who care For them, for me, I’ll learn to cope And always stay in the air

Flying on the wings of hope
