Blue skies stretch
hugging puffed billows
spring delight.

They say smiling is contagious. This poem is inspirational and warms the heart and inspires so much hope. I want to share this especially with Leslie and Sandy, big hugs!
There is a question I used to wonder,
And the answer lies deep under.
What is the most beautiful thing that exists?
There, the answers remains a long wide list.
Could it be the wide blue sky?
The place where hope lies.
Or could it be the rainbow,
Where the dreams soar up so.
It was at the point of time,
When I felt like making everything mine.
Realisation hits right at me,
And I saw what I always wanted to see.
The most beautiful thing,
Where different stories sing.
It cannot be seen with bare eyes,
And cannot be covered with lies.
There it go,
Following the flow.
When we start to feel with our hearts,
Then that is when the journey really starts.

Part of a puzzle
one big piece that does not fit
That just might be me
Darkness colours grey
oceans swallow fowl beliefs
sea of lost riddles.
despair clouds the mind
shift in attitude restores.
Equilibrium.
By no means give up
tomorrow’s another day
faith, hope… reliance

Despair became her friend
sadness wrapped her like a blanket
Drinking, harming her new trend;
death seemed like her only target,
woke up mornings and saw grey
looked outside and just saw clouds
Praying, hoping was her way
now the pain just screamed too loud.
had no clue that there was hope
there are people who assist
teaching different ways to cope
seeing lifelines on a list
she decides, give life a try
called a youth line late one night
realized she needn’t die
Gave life a chance, saw the light.
Sure am glad she called that night.
Don’t give up when times are bleak
Talk to someone soon this week;
if you’re scared, check a helpline
they may become your true lifeline!
They’re always open, day and night
They never close…so call, alright?
