Creative Writer Meets The World

I wanted to post this here on my writing blog as well because even though this is a thank you for those that supported me getting my Master's Degree in Business Management I felt it was something I wanted to share here as well. What a long trip it has been and I am not just talking about the extended length it ended up being for my Master's degree.  Although there are not many that have known me for several years outside of my mom the closest is Adam who has known me for almost 15 years has still heard many different stories of the struggles and fights I went through in my life to get to this moment and to get to this point in my life.  From the days of my childhood being in Special Education due to my Motor Skill problem and my speech problem to now finishing my Master's degree even I couldn't have told you all I would have done and fought for to just get to this point in my life.  I am so very grateful for so many people that are now in my life even those ...

There are days that I wonder, There are times I imagine, Just how the life was, Before I was born, Before I came to being, Was my father a better man? Was he more kind before he knew I was to be? Was he just scared because he was young? And he didn’t know what to expect at that age? What was the romance like? Between my mom and my father? What did she truly see in him? What truly did the full winning of her heart? What made them say I do? What made it fully break? Before I was even two? So many questions that were left unanswered, So many questions I will never know, So many questions that will go unsaid, There are days that I may wonder, There are times that I imagine, I wonder what life was like, Wonder what my grandfather was like on my dad’s side, How his kindness showed when my dad was a jerk, How much my dad’s family cared even though my mom lost contact, Would they accept me now many years since that last contact? Would the...

Some might consider those with sickness unlucky, Some might consider them scared for life, Some might consider them ones that cannot truly live, Because all they deal with are struggles, And endless strife, But they do not see the true beauty, Or the encouraging that one person can give, What one sees as unlucky, I see as someone who is encouraging, Someone who is strong, Someone who is a fighter, Someone who might have a burden, But still sees the beauty of life, Is someone who keeps on going, Despite what life has dealt to them, Because that person believes, With every fiber of their being, That they have something worth striving for, They have something worth living for, They have something they believe can be more, They remember the promise, That God is with them, No matter the trials and challenges of life, Through the good times and the bad, Through the heartaches and the hurt, And that even if they are not healed now, That ...

There are so many of us out there, That has been rejected, Rejected for some reason or another, Rejected due to our looks Rejected due to our smarts, Rejected due to our lack of smarts, Rejected due to not being the jock or cheerleader, Rejected due to not being creative enough, Rejected due to not fitting in enough, We fight through our lives, Not quite fitting in one box or another, There are so many unnamed people out there, So many of us have been rejected, At one point of time or another, Some of us have found a way to rise above, And some of us have had to struggle harder, And some of us still struggle now, Some of us struggle every single day, Because we do not fit into a box well enough, For society gain, Because we choose to stay different, We choose to stay beating to another drum, We choose to stay being who we are, Not wanting to be anything else, We do not care if someone accepts us, On the merit of our looks We do no...

The gentle dew drops from the flower, And drops down from the grass, The yellow light shines down to the earth, Warming the grass, The birds wake from their sleep, As the day begins, With their song, The hustle and bustle of traffic is going, For those going to work in the day, There are those already awake, For the night and early day are their time, And they are awake to greet the morning, It is these moments that are so simple, Yet so true, That we often take for granted, And sometimes do not take to enjoy, The simple moment of the beauty of the sunshine, The simple moment of the rain that might fall onto the earth, Instead of complaining about the weather, Or about what is going on in our lives, Why can’t we just take a moment? Live in this moment? Appreciate all that we have? And truly enjoy The lovely morning, Rather there is sun shining down on us, Or rain falling around us, And remembering that we are blessed, Blessed ...
