Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart -- Kahlil Gibran

ONE LIFE There is one life That lives and moves all beings Large and small Whenever one is helped No matter how finite Unified life is blessed According to the law Of reciprocal action Of cause and effect Negative results of past mistakes Become a most bitter harvest Therefore flow with feelings Of...

Forgiveness will never fail to free you -- Jerrold Mundis

"If you set a goal for yourself and are able to achieve it, you have won your race.

The two most powerful warriors are patience and time -- Leo Tolstoy

TOGETHER Together we are stronger Together we can fly higher The higher we fly The bluer the sky Together we unite the world Together we can be bold The bolder we become We are all for one Together our energy overflows Together we can make love glow The more love we generate The more peace we can...

A QUIET CONSCIENCE SLEEPS IN THUNDER -- ENGLISH PROVERB

Peace is the respect for the rights of others -- Benito Juarez

Peace in the Valley Silver rays shine down on the valley below The moon is full its brightness glows Covering the sleepy houses with a net of safety Whilst the inhabitants doze in a feeling of security Protected by the powers that be from above Elation in that comfortable feeling of love It comes to...

It's difficult to see the picture when you're inside of the frame - Unknown

So here am I smiling sweetly Glowing with apparent joy A beautiful picture for all to see Shame it’s one I cannot enjoy From where I stand All is surreal If you touch my hand It’s cold as steel If you listen hard You’ll hear my heart beat I’ll play my part I won’t spoil the treat If you look into my...

About this Blog

This is where I will be writing and posting my poetry - a lot of which was written between the years of 17 - 19 (I am now 50!!) I have only just found the urge to do something with these poems and have started adding slowly to my collection - I hope you like them (I'm still feeling my way here)
