It has been nice not to go alone, to know the joy, experience the pain and see the illumination,
To dream, to hope and believe the best is always today, knowing moments come and pass,
It is grand to share, laugh, cry and squeeze,
The past is in arrears, the presence is nowadays, and tomorrow may never arrive,
Let us not live on yesterday or contemplate would of, could of, should of,
Let us think of every upgrade, every challenge, every obstacle a blessing.
We know resolve and evolve is the key to success,
The resolution rests within, direction and guidance are always approximate,
The still quiet voice that talks to our consciences, be bold, be strong, fair, and honest, no matter what life gives,
Catch the ball, stand still on the plate, move on toward home,
Continue to read, develop, and identify,
Never let fear take hold or adventure cease,
Remember what the mind thinks will take hold, what the heart believes one accepts,
Do not lose yourself to please, and false concepts of another, or this universe,
Just be true be you,
Like whom you see, when your reflection can be seen,
Remember, embrace your imperfection, and ask for assistance when in need, know that you will never be alone,
Close your eyes and you will vision,
Read a book and you will travel,
An open mind learns a closed one is deprived,
Man is fallible, God is not,
Cries are heard, prayers hold answers,
Love lasting is love divine,
Rest is assured,
Peace soothes the soul,
Mercies are new every morning at dawn,
Eyes are upon you at sunrise and sunset,
The gift God has given, many deny,
Though at that place in the midst, he is there by your side,
Render thanks and remember, the hour comes soon,
Life as you knew it was no longer the same,
Renewed or kept old, is totally up to you,
For the love that was given was freely bestowed,
The freedom to choose, free will is given all,
I wanted you to know, unconditionally loved,
We are forgiven and made whole,
I wonder what you would choose,
Renewed or kept old, Is all up to you.
Love, unconditionally your friend.
