41. Note To Self
Be like the willow that bends,
shade that it sends,
peace that it lends.
Be like the willow that bends,
shade that it sends,
peace that it lends.

Wake up, beautiful.
Wake up from this tragedy.
Breathe,
Return to reality.

Open heart and open mind,
On a journey of a lifetime.
Love and respect all,
Get back up when you fall.
We have but a short time
On this earth,
So value your life
For what it's really worth.
Keep smiling throughout the day
To keep your tensions at bay,
Like a stroke of magical ray,
To make others happy and gay.
Famous Poem
these hips are big hips
they need space to
move around in.
they don't fit into little
Work what you've got and be proud of it. Someone else probably wishes they had what you've got.
I live with depravity,
Pressure like gravity.
Why can't they just see
I want to live happily?
Roll the dice,
Play a new game.
Life for you
Will never be the same.
We wait for what we long for.
We long for what we need.

Start off with faith and trust in God.
Then add courage; you'll need a lot.
Take a few dreams and lots of inspiration;
Mix them with passion and dedication.
Death is an inevitable fate.
Someday we have to go.
You hope you did
your best in life,
Why can't we sleep forever
And live inside our dreams,
Sheltered from the heartbreak
That life can sometimes bring.
Even in my darkest moments
I still have that little voice
encouraging me to go on.
To stand up and keep fighting.
Famous Poem
With doubt and dismay you are smitten
You think there's no chance for you, son?
Why, the best books haven't been written
The best race hasn't been run,
Keep your eyes on the prize
Watching for the finish line
Taking in another breath of air
You realize in just a few minutes
Are you losing faith?
Are you feeling low?
Are you crying out loud,
Craving to be loved?
Even when those storm winds are blowing,
I'll stand and fight them knowing
I'm not alone,
Not on my own.
This poem is a supportive one and thoughtful too, so it is one that is of benefit to others, who may be going through similar experiences.
We are on this planet for a limited span of time;
Validity of our life's visa can end anytime.
Begin your day with enthusiasm and end with satisfaction;
We are sorry for all that has happened.
It hurt us too,
And together we will mend
Your heart all the way through.
To be kind,
I must think.
To be selfless,
It's not about me.
So well done. It's an important message and I like your style. Very good job. Self-improvement and introspection can be tough jobs but well worth the effort.
