Be True to Self

Poetry in the Oceans

The ripple effects of

the water is calm,

baby waves moving

along the shoreline,

Poems, Lyrics, Sonnets, and

haikus of all kinds,

the crashing of currents

of powerful Tides.

Words to inspire, to

motivate, and to encourage,

Conquer these dark seas,

and build up some courage,

you are above the water,

don't let it bring to you discourage.

Words can express and

bring to you hope

When you are tired and

weary, and when you have to cope

These murky sea waters

may be your downfall,

A helping hand needed or

for someone to call,

just be assured

CHRIST IS THE ANSWER,

TO IT ALL!!!!

Be True to Self

Be True to Self,

Have value and wealth,

Be good to your body,

Fresh air and great health.

Take care of your needs,

MOST DEFINITELY!!,

If you Do All of this,

In Life you'll Succeed.

You want to be around,

No time to be down,

Self-care and well-being,

In you, will be found.

Your body is your temple,

It is just that simple,

Consume good things,

Be Light and stay nimble.

You have One Body,

so be One with Yourself,

Continue this Journey, and

Be True to Self!!!

When you enter the scene,

Onlookers will KNOW,

People can't help but

to see your SHINE,

Your SHINE is so LOUD

Others will go BLIND.

PEOPLE will see YOU,

Oh, YEAH THEY DO!!!

Your LIGHT is being NOTICED,

IS WHY HATERS DON'T LIKE YOU!!!

GLOW Like a LIGHT BUG,

Get out and SHINE,

As FAR AS the HATERS,

DON'T PAY THEM NO MIND!!!

CONTINUE TO GLOW,

WHEREVER YOU GO,

BE A LIGHT THAT STANDS OUT,

SO, THAT THIS DARK WORLD

WOULD KNOW!!!

My LOVE for Writing!!!

When I STARTED WRITING,

 I was 14 years OLD,

My CREATIVITY was STRONG and

it STARTED to UNFOLD.

I had MANY POEMS of TITLES, and

 GENRES to be TOLD,

Some were VERY SIMPLE and

 a lot were VERY BOLD, but 

as I GOT OLDER my

 POEMS ADVANCED, 

EXCITING and DELIGHTING 

as though they HAVE ENHANCED.

ENCOURAGING to INSPIRE 

To make you FEEL BRIGHTER 

If you are FEELING REAL LOW 

My POEMS LIFT YOU HIGHER!!!

I LOVE MY WRITINGS!!!!

OH YES, I DO!!!!

I HOPE that THEY REACH and

 INSPIRE YOU TOO ???? !!!!

B.R.

Yesterday

NOTE: Just forget about YESTERDAY and FOCUS on TODAY IS THE MANTRA OF 2024!!!

YESTERDAY is gone, so 

make room for TODAY,

the OTHER DAYS were HECTIC 

 have now GONE AWAY, 

A DAY of COMPLETE MAYHEM 

has now GONE ASTRAY,

It was looking PRETTY ROUGH,

 but "WHAT CAN I SAY???"

Just HAPPY to KNOW that 

I AM STILL HERE,

YESTERDAY'S TOUGH ISSUES have

 now DISAPPEARED,

LORD PLEASE BLESS MY WEEK,

OH, THIS I DO PRAY,

YESTERDAY IS LONG, GONE,

 GETTING READY FOR

ANOTHER DAY!!!

Flawed

We have IMPERFECTIONS 

that are LOOKED UPON,

Wishing these FLAWS 

 were COMPLETELY GONE!!!

But don't you FRET, 

Your FLAWS ARE UNIQUE, 

They make you BEAUTIFUL, 

and EQUALLY COMPLETE!!!

Like FRECKLES and BLEMISHES 

SCARS and SPOTS,

These FLAWS tell a STORY and 

That does mean a LOT!!!

Your FLAWS ARE SO BEAUTIFUL,

THEY ARE WHO YOU ARE,

Some PEOPLE MIGHT NOT SEE IT, but 

to me: YOU'RE A ???? STAR ????!!!

So, EMBRACE YOUR FLAWS,

for this is SO TRUE,

BEAUTY IS SKIN DEEP,

and this BEAUTY IS YOU!!!!

When a poet dies

NOTE: There are many Great Poets that have passed on and to this day, we still read There Great works.

When a POET DIES, 

There WORDS LIVE ON, 

They KEEP US ENCOURAGED, 

MOTIVATED and STRONG 

There WORDS DO INSPIRE,

To LIFTING us HIGHER,

When your DOWN AND OUT,

THEY MAKE YOUR DAY BRIGHTER,

A PEP IN YOUR STEP,

you FEEL MUCH MORE LIGHTER,

When a POET DIES,

There WORDS they will STAY, 

THEY'LL CONTINUE to INSPIRE US 

to this VERY DAY!!!!
