I Remember You

I remember you

memories of years past

life as we knew it then

people we were at one time

I remember you

we traveled the path for a while

lessons taught and learned

love and laughter we shared

I remember you

maybe it wasn't always easy

but you were a part of my life

and I have set a sacred space for you

I remember you

tonight as much as any other night

when I can talk to you

when I can tell you how much I love you

I remember you

throughout the years

throughout the lifetimes

our souls share that bond

I remember you

as you remember me

thank you for being in my life

you made me different and special

I remember you

tonight I honor your memory

I share the story of your legend

I am blessed to speak your name

I remember you and thank you

for touching me so deeply

Blessed Samhain, Happy Halloween

take a moment to remember those

who live on the other side

love stays just as strong, no matter

where you are

I Have Found Peace

I have found peace

in the quiet of my life

in the stars in the sky

in the eyes of my love

I have found peace

in walking to through my life

in stopping at the challenges

and moving forward once again

I have found peace

in the lives that touch me

in the love that I give

in my own foundation

I have found peace

in my connection to spirit

in my connection to the earth

in my connection to my soul

I have found peace

my mission is keep it alive

to offer it to others who need it

and to keep it sacred

in myself

We Truly Live

The sky above

The earth below

the heart in between

the spirit all around

a sweet reminder

of our place in the world

the impact we make

the ripples we send across the land

Each step we take

reminds us of our place

it is a good place

no matter where it is

So we move on

we strive forward

we honor the land, our heritage

our purpose, our contract

When we let ourselves be

just who we were meant to be

the heavens and earths open

and that's when we truly live

Celebrate Each Day

Celebrate each day
for your eyes opening
your early morning breath
breakfast of champions

Celebrate each day
for your heart beating
the hugs you receive
the laughs from your belly

Celebrate each day
for the work that you complete
the relationships you build
the lives you touch

Celebrate each day
for the moments that make you pause
whether they are unbelievable
or amazingly good and memorable

Celebrate each day
for the challenges you face
you can handle them with your famous style
with a little bit of grace and charm

Celebrate each day
as your reflect in your pajamas
as you say good night
as you rest your head to recharge for a new day

Celebrate each day
you are a special part of the world
you make your mark each moment
you are so loved by many
you are celebrated each day

Ready To Play

Fate deals us the cards

how we play them in our choice

whether we fold, go all in or bluff

we hold the cards, remember?

Our chips are worth so many things

fame, fortune, family

love, hate, pain,

success, joy, happiness

Our game is the one that we play

people sit at the table

they may support us, challenge us, or deceive us

but they are all part of our game

Some people leave the table

they take their chips and go

whether or not we understand their strategy

their own game is in play too

So we make friends with the dealer

we try our best to win every hand

and even if we have to fold sometimes

keeping our chips may be the best thing

And one day, fate will beckon us to stand up

we will leave our table

our chips will be cashed in

how much you leave with will depend

on how well you played the hands dealt

So fate may try to challenge you,

change you, create you

but remember

you decide your fate, not anyone else

Ready to play?

I breathe again

I take a deep breath

and I dive in

I can't see

the waters are muddy

I swim, I push my arms

I fight against the water

trying to hard to get there

I will make it to the other side

I come up for air

and dive back in

I can't stop now

treading water in not an option

I am so tired

but I go further

I can see the horizon

I have to make it

My new journey begins

if I can make it through this

I reach out, I touch land

I can breathe again

We Join Together

We join together

in unity

in peace

in solidarity

We join together

to build up

to support

to lend a hand

We join together

for common purpose

for strong energy

for belief in a cause

We join together

when times are tough

when there seems to be no hope

when the battle needs us

We join together

because we can

because we care

because we love

We join together

to help others

find their voice

their hearts

and their lives

Uplifting as one

The air called to me

so I went to the sky

sat on a cloud

and watched the world go by

The water called to me

so I went to the sand

sat on the beach

and watched the world expand

The earth called to me

so I went to the ground

lay on the dirt

and listened to the world's sound

The fire called to me

so I went to the red hue

warmed my hands

and saw the world's flames burn through

My Spirit called to me

it was time to go inside

listen to the words

and let Spirit provide

air, earth, fire and water.

Now, my fears subside.

The Treasures of Life

We often forget we are human

that we live lives of trials and tribulations

our souls don't have all the answers

our instruction manuals are not complete

So we learn by error and experience

we misstep and take victory walks

we hurt and we heal with our words

we cast out and draw in with one breath

But we are our own judges and juries

we sentence ourselves to years of pain and purgatory

trying to navigate through life

with chains around our feet and hearts

We are worse on ourselves than our fiercest enemies

we scream louder than the harshest voices

others transgressions are forgivable but not our own

and we sit with every moment, analyzing and dreaming

And yet, deep within, we find hope

we have it inside to fight against all those things -

the sadness, the mistakes, the judgment

we may even be surprised at our determination

no matter what, we have the spirit

of the warrior, the parent, the dreamer

we grab the treasures of life in our hands

and turn it into a beautiful jewel for ourselves

It starts with me

The good work I can do

The hard work I put in

The rewards I get to reap

It starts with me

A positive attitude

A strong will

A heart that's open

It starts with me

The change I wish to see in the world

The impact I hope to make on others

The life I wish to have

It starts with me

The people I have in my life

The experiences I draw in

The way I handle those people and experiences

It starts with me

how I chose to live

how I chose to love

how I chose dream

how I chose to fly
