Unpredicted

When things are not stable

We get scare of failing

Of not knowing the solution to our problems

Most things we are afraid to try

For we don’t know the outcome
 
Most often we are scare of change

For it could be best for us

Or it could hurt us 

The big impact in our lives
 
Is to accept those challenges

No matter how scare we are

We must face them 

To defeat our nightmare

We must run head on

To those changes that are pending

In our lives we must face reality

No matter how scary it gets

There will be a far bright future

In which we no longer would feel scare

That it will be in the past

As part of our growing experience

Fall Romance

We met under a tree

You were running not minding your way

I was looking down at my phone 

To the most recent news of the season

We bump and fall

Down to the crunchy leaves

That had fallen from the tree

We apologize for our mistake

In the same moment we look at each other

Our eyes never leaving each other’s gaze 

We smile a quite simple gesture

I stumble on my words 

Loosing meaning to what I want to say

Feeling silly for acting this way

You help stand up

Holding on to my hand

You offer to walk me 

To my car safely we arrive

We chat for what seems forever

Never wanting to leave each other

At last we make arrangements

To meet back to that tree

Where the leaves have change 

To the many different color 

In which Fall brings when it comes

The wind in which help the leaves

To fall down upon us 

Where we fell in love 

White Winter Love

We met through the white cold canvas

Walking down the slippery pavement 

Grabbing onto a white covered tree branch 

Snow falling on top of me

You being ever so gentle 

Helped me up

We met a couple of snowy days 

Drinking hot coco

By the frozen lake

Talking about what a wonderful winter this is 

Cold winter mornings

Became white afternoons 

Time spent with you 

Made me lose track

Just being here with you 

On this cold winter snow

Forever could last for an eternity

Together We Are One

When things get tough 

I know I am not alone 

There are others

Who I can count on

My community comes together
 
In times of need

We as one form an alliance 

Where we gather supplies 

For others to survive

We never leave others by themselves 

In times of need

We ask if help is needed

We give hand when we know we are needed 

We come together as one

In time of need

Holiday Cheers

These days are coming

When we come as one to celebrate joy 

Not a single person is left out

On this joyous holiday

For everyone gets to be a part

Of this fun time to share with others 

For it is a celebration of peace, and joy

Good things are best when share with others 

To feel a part of oneness with others

A time to be part of one big family 

That is what defines community
