No shadow to be in,
no lead to follow,
no mentor to advise,
no fill for the hollow,
no voice of reason,
no given advice,
no one to warn of
the upcoming surprise.
The little girl so sweet
may soon turn to bitter,
the child with no food
to eat with her dinner.
Her mother she loves,
the one who ignores,
yells to be quiet
as she slams the door.
A phone glued to an ear,
a sad excuse for
the matriarch she supposedly
could be, and more.
No model to show
how to live or love
and yet a small child
is asked to rise above
yet with the shackles
and the weights pulling down
there is no escaping
the despicability that surrounds.

It Inspires Me
My mind picks
apart certain things
that resonate
with specific rings...
I look at a couple
walking the sidewalk
staring into eyes
without a word of talk.
They gaze upon
the one they love
as peaceful as
two turtle doves.
It inspires me.
The skies are gorgeous,
so full of beauty,
so much so
they can lighten the moody.
They bless me with
ideas abounding
and thoughts of hope
and happiness surrounding.
It inspires me.
A mother talking,
a mother yelling,
she screams and screams
in the telling
but all the while
it's done out of love
and the care she has
that always rises above.
It inspires me.
I look around
just a bit more
for inspiration,
for something I can adore
when I step back
and see this gift
with which God has chosen
to bless me with.
I know I
can only choose
to put it to
the best of use
so that in doing so
I can put other's worries at ease
and, from Him, one day
hear it is me in whom He is well pleased.
THAT inspires me.

This Dance
She holds him
and tells him how proud she is.
They cry together
on this day of bliss.
They share this dance
as well as tears.
Her pride for him
for all of the years
overflows in this moment
they share together
in this dance they have
that will be remembered forever.
A man leaves his parents
for a deserving wife
with whom he will share
a happy-ever-after life.
This day and dance
are the culmination today
of a life and relationships
that will last forever this way.
