Awaken O my Soul

Awaken O my soul; Sleeper within me awaken. Have you ever felt that your whole life is like a dream. That this body of flesh is just not yours? What if I would have had different parents or had I been born into a rich family. What really determines the pathes we take in this life? Are we too afraid to live the life we dream of? I am on a journey of my heart to search and find out. I am the apple of God's eye and my heart belong's to Him. This new year is going to be one where I find the treasure that I am searching for. The year that I awaken the sleeper within me. Perhaps it will be in my writing that I find it. Whatever God has for my life I am ready for the challenge and to overcome my fears. I want to soar as the eagle; to catch that thermal wind current and soar high in the sky. The eagle knows no fear, he waits and is patient to catch that current. When he does though; he is the most majestic bird of all. We were also made to be majestic; to live as sons and daughters of the living God. Most of us have lived with fears and failures; this year I take off that cloak of fear. This is the beginning of my journey; I will keep a update of my findings every week. I will be very interested in what I find and how majestic I can be.

New Year's Resolution's

I don't even recall making any New Year's resolutions last year. So should this year be any different? I usually take it one day at a time. There are some things I would like to change about myself. More importantly I would like to write more and keep my blog up to date. I love to write poetry, right now I am trying to find my true calling in life. One would think after all these years I would know exactly what I want to really be. I admit I am a bit of a dreamer, so are alot of famous people though, right? Sometimes, I feel like a totaly different person inside a body that doesn't belong to me. Maybe because it is this body of flesh doesn't relate to the real me. How can this be? I feel so young and alive inside. I want to climb mountain tops, swim in the oceans of blue. My heart is good, I want to do good. We are at war within ourselves, looking for a way out. Freedom is it really attainable? My heart's desire is to go to Hawaii. Will it happen this year? Well I am on a journey in a foreign land.

Encouragement

Never think you are too old;
Be brave, courageous, and bold.
Never think you are too young;
There is still many songs to be sung.
Never think you are too poor;
God will see you have more.
Never think you are too weak;
God will give you the strength you seek.
Never give up on your dreams;
Nothing is really bad as it seems.
Love life and live my friends,
It is a new year, start afresh, and dream big!

How I feel about healthcare reform and How my views have changed

I wrote a poem about exactly how I feel about this. Not sure if anyone else agrees, just my opinion. I also have been submitting my poetry on a cool website I have found called MyOwnVerse. So here's my poem on the subject of the new healthcare reform.

I used to love this great land,
until socialist politicians took a stand.
I work hard and pay my insurance fees.
The government is blind and no longer sees.
Wait and see you will be on a waiting list;
you can scream and pound your fist.
Your pleas will fall upon deaf ears.
Cold hands will grip your inner fears.
Can't believe what this nation has become;
Where has all this negativity come from?
From sea to shining sea;
Used to mean so much to me.
Guess I have to learn just to
throw my hands up in the air.
Is there anyone out there,
that can really care?

Okay I got that off my chest. Hope everyone is having a great Monday.

Another poem-Maybe I Heard It In A Song

Maybe I heard it in a song,
These feelings inside my heart seem so very strong;
What happened to the love we once shared?
You used to hold my hand,
til I put on that wedding band.
We once could talk for hours. you bought me
gifts and showed how much you cared.
Maybe I heard it in a song.
This pain in my heart continues to grow stronger:
I start to feel I cannot take it any longer.
Memories of how it used to be,
play like a reel in my mind.
If only I could make you see.
So now I search my soul;
not knowing what I will find.
Maybe I heard it in a song.
What is marriage all about?
These feelings inside are filling me with doubt.
I'm left to really wonder what is true love?
It keeps playing in my thoughts, time and time again;
An uphill battle I must win,
Maybe, just somehow, Maybe I heard it in a song.

Springtime

Today is the first day of spring. However, it does not feel like spring for the specific reason it is snowing outside, very cold and windy. I do dream of warmer fare, perhaps that will put me in the mood for writing and keeping up my blog. Last month was filled with trips to the hospital with husband and taking care of him. Just doing this seems to zap my strength. Spring is a time of renewal and the sun shining just makes the dreary blahs fad away. So please be patient and I promise that there is going to be new and exciting things to come. Love all.

Wind Of Change Is Blowing

It's so sad when others can't forgive;
They drag things out and in the past they live.
Mole Hills turn into mountains;
Little spigots into erupting fountains.
Letting go of past mistakes;
Painful memories inside your mind;
grow from ponds into lakes.
Take a real look at who you are;
Search your soul and answers can't be far.
Don't let your wounds fester;
Be brave and stand tall against the tester.
A wind of change is a blowing;
Rivers of forgiveness flowing.
