Judgement

 Judgement!

I am not a judge or jury,

I can not say if you are bad,

All I know is you are loved,

Even though sometimes you drive me mad. 

I will not say you are wrong,

I often offer the other view.

Sometimes I play the advocate,

To help to balance you. 

I will say mistakes occur,

Life is full of wrong turns.

Yet you have been part of mine,

Hard lessons we all must learn.

If you do seek judgement,

This is all can afford you.

If you were not a worthy person,

I would not seek to know you.

I think you are brave and strong,

I think you offer lots. 

When I have faced a storm,

A new course you've helped me plot. 

So moving forward in time,

One thing I know for sure.

You can do so very much,

You are worth the world and more.

A hug from you is magic,

An ear healing in times of pain.

Having you within my life,

A gift I know I've gained.

So my judgement is simple,

You know it deep inside

You are truly magnificent,

Thanks for being at my side.

Beauty

 Beauty

Beauty is individual,

It’s a choice of your mind.

So many seem superficial,

To me it’s being kind.

Beauty is the boy,

Who offers up a seat.

Beauty is the person,

Who lifts you from defeat.

Beauty is silence,

When you have nothing to say.

Beauty is waking up,

Wanting to see out the day.

Beauty is opening up,

Letting people in.

Beauty is non-judge mental,

It’s accepting flaws within.

Beauty is the person,

Who messages when your down.

Beauty is the wonder,

In you beauty is found.

Trail

 The trail winds in front of me,

It never seems to end at all.

Somedays I pass effortlessly;

other days it’s so very slow,

I am almost standing still.

it sometimes is newly paved,

perfection to move along,

Yet at other times it’s rough.

Bumps try to halt me,

Dirt obscures my vision.

These roads are hard to bare,

Yet I keep going on.

I struggle but I continue,

I halt only to catch my breath.

Time is so fleeting,

I must use it wisely.

Another step to hope!

 Another step to hope!

Life is a twisting path,

Full of ups and downs.

But even in the darkest time,

Hope can always be found.

At times it seems impossible,

To be proud and to stand.

Yet life is full of fantastic gifts,

Living is so wonderfully grand.

It isn’t always easy,

You’ll cry a tear or two.

But the next step shows,

The strength within you.

I’m a composition of memories,

Experiences I have made.

Some so very dark,

I was left feeling dismayed.

Yet whenever I needed hope,

A beacon to guide me through.

I found it there in others,

Who helped my light shine too.

I will always find my way,

No matter how rough the sea.

Inside an ember always burns,

So Hope lives within me.

I am inspired by good deeds,

Performed by other men.

But whether I I am right or wrong,

On myself that does depend.

So I choose the optimistic path,

While launching on a new road.

For no matter where I roam,

I can carry and bare the load.

I know where help is given,

Without an added fee.

I know that hope sings loud,

Resonating inside of me.

Escape from life!

Escape from real life!

When I sit and read,

I escape to a new land.

Where supermen and women,

Spread hope that is so grand.

The books are an escape,

To leave this world behind.

To have a place to go to,

To find a peace of mind.

I may choose to be a hero,

Or a villain in disguise.

A misunderstood monster,

Or a mum with a surprise.

The books are an escape,

To leave this world behind.

To have a place to go to,

To find a peace of mind.

I can find new friends and family,

In a well written text.

I can resolve other people’s woes,

No matter how complex.

The books are an escape,

To leave this world behind.

To have a place to go to,

To find a peace of mind

A book is a portal,

To another new realm.

To get there yo must read,

Steer the ship at the helm.

The books are an escape,

To leave this world behind.

To have a place to go to,

To find a peace of mind.

You may be witness,

To an awful crime.

You may be the warrior,

Who fights the end of time.

The books are an escape,

To leave this world behind.

To have a place to go to,

To find a peace of mind.

You may be a protagonist,

Chosen for their mind.

You may be the antagonist,

The hero left behind.

In a book you can be,

So many different roles.

In life you can be the same,

If you have achievable goals.

Astronaut!

I am an astronaut!

In life I am an astronaut,

I travel round space.

I meet some very unique people,

Alien in many ways.

We all move through the world,

On paths that are untrod.

Each new step paving way for a leap.

Our actions so unpredictable.

I have not walked in their footprints.

I have not lived their life.

In the vacuum of passing time,

We meet rarely.

Yet joined in this state of living,

We must understand,

We are not alone.

Yet part of us may be lonely.

Unite!

Unite!

When I walk across the lands,

I share kindness with every man.

If we all unite as one race,

Then hatred can be erased.

If we aid instead of fight,

We can set the world right.

The judgements based on your deed,

Not on nation, skin or creed.

Prejudice has no place,

Unite together one equal race.
