a poet lives in my heart
caged
well-fed
not well-tended
a poet lives in my heart
her song fills my spirit
gives me wings to fly
yet grounded
I remain
a poet lives in my heart
desperate
yet content
warm hands
lips pressed to my soul
a poet lives in my heart
and the moment I set her free
is the moment
I disappear

Healthy, true Love is not about control or possession.
You are inherently worthy of all the best life has to offer.
Claim it.
The fact is…we will all pass from this world.
The fact is…we can’t take any of our possessions with us when we do.
The fact is…people matter more than things.
The fact is…our lives don’t always reflect that truth.
And, make sure it’s a pretty cupcake, because that just makes doubting more fun.
I like Shel Silverstein’s work for children. I always keep a copy of Where the Sidewalk Ends, because it’s important to remember to be silly and creative.
Here is a poem that speaks to the heart of this life, no matter our age:
Listen to the MUSTN’TS, child,
Listen to the DON’TS
Listen to the SHOULDN’TS
The IMPOSSIBLES, the WON’TS
Listen to the NEVER HAVES
Then listen close to me—
Anything can happen, child,ANYTHING can be.
This is a video about Nick Vujicic, an Australian born without arms or legs.
This “loss” has not stopped Nick from being a force for good in the world.
Nick teaches us:
1. With faith, we are unstoppable.
2. With desire, we are unstoppable.
3. We are unstoppable.
Persevere.
