No Obligation
You are under no obligation
To be the person you were
Five minutes ago
This is your life
The footprint you leave
On this world
Is yours to impart
The entire universe is impacted By the choices you make
Your belief can move mountains
Your thoughts
Create your experience
What will you create
What mountain will you move
How will you impact the universe
Do you like who you are
Yes, great
No, change yourself
Stop waiting for “when”
When is NOW
Grab hold of your thoughts
Grab hold of life
And
Wring the living daylights
Out of it

Hope
Drugs ruin
Alcohol ruins
Political stance ruins
A closed mind ruins
Religiousness ruins
The ruin is a hardened heart
Eyes that don’t see
Ears that don’t hear
A tongue that speaks froward things
But I still hold onto hope
Hope that the drug addict will be
Completely healed
Hope the alcoholic will overcome the urge
Hope political stances find common ground
Hope that closed minds will be opened
Hope that religiousness will give way
To the truth
Of unconditional love
From God
Who dwells within us all
If we believe

Patience
Got my rose colored glasses on
Ignoring my sore muscles from
Weight training week one
Ignoring my scale
Trying to anyway
Chilling on my sofa chewing kale
The pain will get easier
The scale will get lighter
The kale will get swallowed
Patience girl
Patience
Just show up for yourself
Every day

Live Life
The hardest part is deciding
Deciding how I would really like
Like to life my life
Life has taught me hard lessons
Lessons of not attaching
Attaching to things or people
People come and go
Go and leave dreams broken
Broken dreams make it hard
Hard to decide how
How I would really like to live my life
Life was made to be lived
Lived to the fullest including pain
Pain eventually fades
Fades and gives way to hope
Hope in the future and a better time
Time to decide
Decide and imagine
Imagine and live
Live life to its fullest

Anywhere You take me
Sand between my toes
Can sun streak grey hair?
Snow falling on my nose
Lots of memories to share
Ocean breezes
Sing me to sleep
Rain falls on tin
Making a rhythmic beat
Mountain ranges
Brilliant colors
Stoney caverns
Lakes of blue
Anywhere
You take me
I will always go

Whiter than snow
Beauty unspeakable
On this glorious day
His majesty shines
Lighting the way
The darkness of sin
Washed away
By His mercy and forgiveness
The scriptures say
Covered with His blood
We are whiter than snow
If we just believe and pray

Broken Coloring
Remember
When you are feeling
Down
A crayon still colors when it is
Broken
So pick your chin
Up
Think positive
Thoughts
Especially when you’re feeling
Down
And color the hell out of your
Broken

Any Minute
Hold your head high
Sit securely on your perch
Knowing that any minute
You can choose to fly

Do Not Conform
There is a distant voice
Calling
It gets louder
As I get older
Calling
Do not settle
Do not conform
Calling
Love with abandon
Live with passion
Calling
Stay free
Enjoy each experience
Calling
Seek wisdom
Disregard skeptics
Calling
Take risks
Do not fear pain
Calling
You were created for this moment
Do not let it pass in vain
