Aim to see your life for what it is
Not solely for what it can become.
For when you look at the beauty around you,
you can truly appreciate where you come from

While others keep searching, you know for sure,
That your thirst for life's nows form deep in your core
The love others give you becomes so much deeper
For they can see you're not always searching for more

Being happy with where you are now
Gives you a power none can steal
And with this power comes a joy
That makes life's treasures seem that much more real.

Imitation Poem

If I Were In Charge of the World

If I were in charge of the world
I’d cancel lies,
Working in suits and ties.
I’d cancel hate
And lines that cause us to wait.

If I were in charge of the world
Every child would have a dad,
And food would never go bad.
Every life would have true love,
And war our world would be free of.

If I were in charge of the world
You wouldn’t have hunger
Old people would feel younger.
You wouldn’t look at weight
And no one would ever show up late.

If I were in charge of the world
Dessert would come after every meal
That would just be part of the deal.
Smiles would be on every face
So people would all brush their teeth, just in case.
And someone who doesn’t always clean her plate
And sometimes wakes up late,
Would still be allowed to be in charge of the world.

Winter Stupor

I wouldn’t wish this upon anyone.
Before it even started, I wanted it to be done.
Picture everything completely white.
I’ve never seen anything so bright.

It looks beautiful when diamonds fall from the sky,
But unless you’re indoors, that beauty cuts into you like knives.
Walking through it, you feel weighed down with bricks.
Weather reporters call it a “wintery mix.”

Your nose will either be stopped-up or leaky.
It’s guaranteed, and it’s kind of freaky.
The cold also does something to your fingers.
It instantly chills, and the bitterness lingers.

There’s a strange beauty behind the winter season.
But I would prefer if the temperatures stayed within reason.
Being this cold puts me in a stupor.
It definitely makes me look forward to the future.

Found Poem

Time Unending, Unending Thrill

Time unending, as if for me.
Something that cannot be.
Something dreamed for, but never achieved.
But in reality, I have seen.
All that time, the force behind it.
I was lost in the quiet.
Where it took me, I just followed.
Caused my breath to stop and hold.


Time is still a wonder for me.
I look forward to everything.
Time gave me a life I have come to love.
Unending thrill, and it is just the start of…
