BORDER

Bordered by walls, gated within,
Seeking to break free, to bravely begin.

The Man With a Heart of Gold


A man with a heart of gold
Everyone who meets him, their hearts unfold
A smile that lights up the darkest room
With him around, there’s never any gloom

His determination, an inspiring sight
No challenge too big, he’ll take it on
With him by your side, you’ll never feel alone

His love for life, infectious and true
He’ll do anything for the people he knew
A friend to all, he’ll lend an ear
His advice, always sincere

So here’s to a man like no other
May his light continue to shine forever
In our hearts, he’ll always stay
A man in every single way.

You captured my heart the first time we met
A rapture of emotions I couldn’t forget
Left everything in your enchanting act

My Name

Where did your name come from?

When my mom was young, she watched Little House on the Prairie and absolutely fell in love with it. The heartfelt stories and strong characters made a lasting impression on her. She was particularly taken with the actresses Melissa Gilbert and Melissa Sue Anderson, who portrayed the characters of Laura and Mary Ingalls. So, when it came time to choose a name for me, she decided to use the names of these two actresses.

Motivate

Daily writing prompt
What motivates you?

I find having a few close friends really gives me a boost. They’re always there for me, whether I’m going after my goals or dealing with tough times. We cheer each other on, celebrate when things go well, and create a safe place for talking about worries. Their upbeat attitude and strong belief in me keep me going, even when times are hard. Knowing they support me gives me the courage and confidence to chase after my dreams with excitement.

Evil is Here

Inhuman snarls, growl

Hungering for flesh and blood

Who will it strike next

Darkness falls, fear fills the air

Eyes gleam in the night’s embrace…

Nonchalant Breeze

In a nonchalant world, I stroll with ease,
Carefree and light as a breeze.
Sunsets come and troubles go,
Nonchalant, embracing the flow.

Do not turn around

Lest you all be turned to stone

Dwelling is danger

Watching me you’ll turn to stone

Beware the eyes that follow…

What If

What if,
the sun refused to rise,
And the moon decided not to set?

What if,
the stars fell from the skies,
And the oceans all dried up and left?

What if,
birds forgot to sing,
And flowers never bloomed again?

What if,
winter forgot to bring
Snowflakes gently falling, now and then?

What if,
love ceased to exist,
And kindness disappeared from sight?

What if,
hope could not persist,
And darkness banished all the light?

But even in these what if’s, true,
There’s strength in us and ways to cope.
For in our hearts, the answers brew,
And we’ll find our way through, with hope.

Embroidered tales, stitch by stitch

Hungry hawk circles 

Looking for some smaller prey

All rodents, beware

Danger is lurking nearby

Protect others and yourself…

Chunks of masonry

Crack up and fall around you

As the earth trembles

Nature’s power on display

Shaking everything it holds
