Dance to your own beat

Be yourself to all you meet

Here or in the street

Do not take a seat, let life

Guide you to your destiny

Outset

From the outset of this friendship, I knew it was going to be special
A bond so strong and true, it felt celestial
Now I need to cherish and nurture it with care
For your presence in my life is beyond compare

Now that you are in my life, I don’t know what I’d do
If you were no longer with me, my world would be askew
Your laughter, your kindness, light up my every day
I’ll treasure our friendship in every single way

Hereditary

Hereditary is the word some fear
For it carries the weight of the past
A legacy of triumph or despair
Passed down from generation to generation

It holds the power to shape our lives
In ways we may not fully comprehend
Yet within its grasp lies potential
For growth, for change, for understanding

Embrace the hereditary with knowledge
Seek to break the chains of negativity
And pave the way for a brighter future
Where hereditary holds promise, not fear

Health and Personal Relationships

What details of your life could you pay more attention to?

I think I could pay more attention to my physical health and well-being. I often get caught up in work and neglect to exercise and eat healthily. I also want to focus more on developing personal relationships and spending quality time with friends and family.

FRONT
BACK
SIDEWAYS

Jack could never walk the correct way,
When he was to go forward, he went backwards, and vice versa.
He even went sideways most of the time,
So, try not to be mad if he arrives late,
Because it takes a lot of planning to get to where he is going.

Caution

I have been told that I have a lot of patience
But even if I do, there is only so much I can take
So, take caution with your words and actions
For even the patient have their limits, make no mistake

Spirits lift us up

Or they will tear us all down

Be ever cautious

You might end up facedown,

Choose wisely, my friend, choose well…

Talons grab at me

Razor sharp ripping my flesh

What of me is left?

How much more can I give, till

I waste away to nothing???

Trust and Honesty

——————————

Trust, never taken

Instead, it’s given freely

Shared among us all

Be cautious; don’t do something

That will make them not trust you…

Dancing Sprites

Dancing sprites abound

All basking in blinding light

Making day of night

Show the way for those in need

Let them guide you to greatness…
